Verb Quotes

In life one must decide whether to conjugate the verb to have or the verb to be Picture Quote #1

It’s a shame that jazz is now being turned into dried fruit. It’s becoming quantized, diced and defined. It’s becoming an idiom. To me if it’s anything, jazz is a verb? it’s more like a process than it is a thing Picture Quote #1

Travel. It was an intransitive verb. It didn’t involve any destinations. It was going to the going’s sake, to be anywhere but where you were, with motion itself as the only object Picture Quote #1

A true noun, an isolated thing, does not exit in nature. Things are only the terminal points, or rather the meeting points of actions, cross sections cut through actions, snapshots. Neither can a pure verb, an abstract motion, be possible in nature. The eye sees noun and verb as one, things in motion, motion in things Picture Quote #1

Every sentence he manages to utter scatters its component parts like pond water from a verb chasing its own tail Picture Quote #1

The line of dialogue belongs to the character; the verb is the writer sticking his nose in Picture Quote #1

Fear is only a verb if you let it be. Don’t you dare let go of my hand! Picture Quote #1

A painting to me is primarily a verb, not a noun, an event first and only secondarily an image Picture Quote #1

The verb that’s been enforced on girls is to please. Girls are trained to please... I want us all to change the verb. I want the verb to be educate, or activate, or engage, or confront, or defy, or create Picture Quote #1

Honesty is an active verb, not a passive noun. Go out of your way to be truthful, beginning with the things that you say to yourself Picture Quote #1

Whatever you want to say, there is only one word to express it, only one verb to give it movement, only one adjective to qualify it Picture Quote #1

Mother is not a title. Mother is a verb. It is not who you are. It’s what you do Picture Quote #1

Nice writing isn’t enough. It isn’t enough to have smooth and pretty language. You have to surprise the reader frequently, you can’t just be nice all the time. Provoke the reader. Astonish the reader. Writing that has no surprises is as bland as oatmeal. Surprise the reader with the unexpected verb or adjective. Use one startling adjective per page Picture Quote #1

Whatever one wishes to say, there is one noun only by which to express it, one verb only to give it life, one adjective only which will describe it. One must search until one has discovered them, this noun, this verb, this adjective, and never rest content with approximations, never resort to trickery, however happy, or to vulgarism, in order to dodge the difficulty Picture Quote #1

There is a word, in a verb, something sacred which forbids us from using it recklessly. To handle a language cunningly is to practice a kind of evocative sorcery Picture Quote #1

The process of unlearning in order to relearn demands a new concept of knowledge not as thing but as a process, not as a noun but as a verb Picture Quote #1

Feminism is something you do. It’s a verb. It’s what you are. It’s an activity; it’s something you’re actively engaged in Picture Quote #1

The whole of nature, as has been said, is a conjugation of the verb to eat, in the active and in the passive Picture Quote #1

I think that we all do heroic things, but hero is not a noun, it’s a verb Picture Quote #1

Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love Picture Quote #1

A player who conjugates a verb in the first person singular cannot be part of the squad, he has to conjugate the verb in the first person plural. We. We want to conquer. We are going to conquer. Using the word I when you’re in a group makes things complicated Picture Quote #1
