My Desk Quotes

I had three pieces of limestone on my desk, but I was terrified to find that they required to be dusted daily, when the furniture of my mind was all undusted still, and threw them out the window in disgust Picture Quote #1

I don’t know where my ideas come from, but I know where they come to. They come to my desk, and if I’m not there, they go away again Picture Quote #1

I had a very full life, with pains and losses, of course. I lost all the people I was closest to: my partner, my father, and my best friends, but I can’t complain. I am 91 years old and I am still here at my desk Picture Quote #1

I am simply impressed by the unexpected insights which shower down on me when my job is to imagine, as contrasted with the woodenly familiar ideas which clutter my desk when my job is to tell the truth Picture Quote #1

If I sought to answer all of the criticisms that cross my desk, my secretaries would be engaged in little else in the course of the day, and I would have no time for constructive work Picture Quote #1

I wrote to find beauty and purpose, to know that love is possible and lasting and real, to see day lilies and swimming pools, loyalty and devotion, even though my eyes were closed, and all that surrounded me was a darkened room. I wrote because that was who I was at the core, and if I was too damaged to walk around the block, I was lucky all the same. Once I got to my desk, once I started writing, I still believed anything was possible Picture Quote #1

I’m not much given to making shamanistic remarks about all this, but I’m a great believer in the dream life. If I can carry without spilling whatever it is that drips into my head in the night to my desk, then that’s valuable Picture Quote #1

When somebody was looking in my locker, it was like going in my desk. Somebody happened to be looking in my locker when they shouldn’t have been Picture Quote #1

I get to my desk at eight in the morning and I leave it at seven in the evening and I just work away. I’m a work machine Picture Quote #1

I didn’t know whether to run from my seat... I was in the line of fire. My desk is now a crime scene Picture Quote #1

In a mood of faith and hope my work goes on. A ream of fresh paper lies on my desk waiting for the next book. I am a writer and I take up my pen to write Picture Quote #1

For years, I’ve felt an obligation to harvest an animal, since all my life I’ve so mindlessly consumed them. But that was from the safety of my desk Picture Quote #1

Creativity is a God who comes around only when he pleases, and it isn’t very often. But when he does come around, he sits at my desk and folds his wings and I offer him whatever he wants Picture Quote #1

I wrote on my desk wall when I was writing the film...’Art is socialism, but life is capitalism.’ That’s the hard thing in all of it if you expect to make a living Picture Quote #1

When I was a teacher, teachers would come into my classroom and admire my desk on which lay nothing whatever, whereas theirs were heaped with papers and books Picture Quote #1

Despite my ghoulish reputation, I really have the heart of a small boy. I keep it in a jar on my desk Picture Quote #1

I am violently untidy. My desk is overcrowded. I write my first drafts in longhand in a long notebook using a plastic throwaway fountain pen. Then I work on a word processor using a different desk and a different room Picture Quote #1

My desk, most loyal friend thank you. You’ve been with me on every road I’ve taken. My scar and my protection Picture Quote #1

I am really chained to my computer these days so I work in my bedroom, which is a room I have worked in for years and years. It is just as much an office as a bedroom, and during the day, my bed is rather like an extension of my desk Picture Quote #1

I have a toy giraffe on my bed. I’ve got photographs over my desk as well as a mask of a giraffe in my kitchen. I am totally hooked Picture Quote #1

On gym days, I don’t get to my desk until 4 in the afternoon, and everything except bedtime and the appointment with the liquid narcotic is pushed back a bit Picture Quote #1

I can guarantee you this, that more pension and benefit reforms which I will consider arbitration reform to be one of them, are things that when they come to my desk, they will be signed Picture Quote #1

I have sat here at my desk, day after day, night after night, a blank sheet of paper before me, unable to lift my pen, trembling and weeping too Picture Quote #1

There goes the dinner bell, and here comes my aunt to scold me for sitting here at my desk all day, instead of staying with the company: wish the company were gone Picture Quote #1

People want to know why I do this, why I write such gross stuff. I like to tell them I have the heart of a small boy... And I keep it in a jar on my desk Picture Quote #1
