Sentence Quotes

A novel, basically, is writing one sentence Â- then, without violating the scope of the first one, writing the next sentence Picture Quote #1

Say what you have to say and the first time you come to a sentence with a grammatical ending - sit down Picture Quote #1

I’m a ‘frotteur,’ someone who likes to rub words in his hand, to turn them around and feel them, to wonder if that really is the best word possible. Does that word in this sentence have any electric potential? Does it do anything? Too much electricity will make your reader’s hair frizzy. There’s a question of pacing Picture Quote #1

To be included in the group with women like Glenn Close and Kyra Sedgwick is a little bit astonishing to me. To even be mentioned in the same sentence as Glenn Close is just ridiculous Picture Quote #1

If men can develop weapons that are so terrifying as to make the thought of global war include almost a sentence for suicide, you would think that man’s intelligence and his comprehension... would include also his ability to find a peaceful solution Picture Quote #1

You expect far too much of a first sentence. Think of it as analagous to a good country breakfast: what we want is something simple, but nourishing to the imagination. Hold the philosophy, hold the adjectives, just give us a plain subject and verb and perhaps a wholesome, nonfattening adverb or two Picture Quote #1

Ah, I am the judge of dreams, and you are the judge of love. Well, I find you guilty of dreaming good dreams, and sentence you to a lifetime of working and suffering for the sake of your dreams. I only hope that someday you won’t declare me innocent of the crime of loving you Picture Quote #1

I’m not trying to be a poet on Twitter; I’m trying to be aware of the fact that a very simple sentence, well written, can have a very moving effect without that person knowing why. There’s a deep genetic part of you that somehow, even without your permission, recognizes good language when it arrives Picture Quote #1

A good story, just like a good sentence, does more than one job at once. That’s what literature is: a story that does more than tell a story, a story that manages to reflect in some way the multilayered texture of life itself Picture Quote #1

I really enjoy finding the right word, creating a good, flowing sentence. I enjoy the rhythm of the words Picture Quote #1

I work every day until I do not have more to say. I learned from Graham Greene that a very good way is to stop work in the middle of a sentence. Then you know exactly how to continue the day after Picture Quote #1

If You can’t tell it to me in one sentence, they can’t put it in TV Guide Picture Quote #1

I still have a stammer that I can control by not opening a sentence with a hard consonant, or by concentrating for a moment, breathing softly down. Growing up, the ‘Our Father’ was lovely, made for me, the ‘Hail Mary’ was gorgeous, and ‘Glory Be to the Father’ was an absolute nightmare Picture Quote #1

What a labour writing is ... making one sentence do the work of a page; that’s what I call hard work Picture Quote #1

That’s the hardest thing to do-to stay with a sentence until it has said what it should say, and then to know when that has been accomplished Picture Quote #1

Graham’s wonderful sentence as, an investor needs only two things: cash and courage. Having only one of them is not enough Picture Quote #1
