Text Quotes
I guess you could write a good song if your heart hadn’t been broken, but I don’t know of anyone whose heart hasn’t been broken (Write Quotes)
I write first for myself as a therapeutic process, to get stuff out and to deal with it (Write Quotes)
Freedom of speech means that you shall not do something to people either for the views they have, or the views they express, or the words they speak or write (Write Quotes)
It’s usually a big kind of vent of frustration or anger or sadness that puts me in the right frame of mind to write. It’s such a cliche to say that artists write when they’re down, but it’s true for me. It’s a relief to get out what’s eating away at my heart or my soul or my head (Write Quotes)
You should always be trying to write a poem you are unable to write, a poem you lack the technique, the language, the courage to achieve. Otherwise you’re merely imitating yourself, going nowhere, because that’s always easiest (Write Quotes)
Every so often I take out a volume and read a page or two. After all, reading is looking after in a manner of speaking. Though they’re not old enough to be valuable for their age alone, nor important enough to be sought after by collectors, my charges are dear to me, even if, as often as not, they are as dull on the inside as on the outside. No matter how banal the contents, there is always something that touches me. For someone now dead once thought these words significant enough to write them down (Write Quotes)
You write not for children but for yourself. And if by good fortune children enjoy what you enjoy, why then you are a writer of children’s books (Write Quotes)
The best morals kids get from any book is just the capacity to empathize with other people, to care about the characters and their feelings. So you don’t have to write a preachy book to do that. You just have to make it a fun book with characters they care about, and they will become better people as a result (Write Quotes)
I could have guessed it all along, cuz now some drama queen is gonna write a song for me (Write Quotes)
No it is not easy to write. It is as hard as breaking rocks. Sparks and splinters fly like shattered steel (Write Quotes)
Why should I be polished and improved like goods for sale? I might not even want to marry! And besides, I have many skills. I can read and write and play the flute and harp. Why should I change to please some man? If he doesn’t like me the way I am, then he can get some other girl for his wife (Write Quotes)
In the year 2000 an illiterate person will not be someone who can’t read or write, but someone who is not able to learn, unlearn and learn again (Write Quotes)
Whenever you write, whatever you write, never make the mistake of assuming the audience is any less intelligent than you are (Write Quotes)
Write from the soul, not from some notion what you think the marketplace wants. The market is fickle; the soul is eternal (Write Quotes)
If you don’t allow yourself the possibility of writing something very, very bad, it would be hard to write something very good (Write Quotes)
The longer I write, the more important I believe it is to write the first draft as fast as possible. In drafting, I push myself so I am at the edge of discomfort... Later, it will be time for consideration and reconsideration, slow, careful revision and editing. But on the first draft I have to achieve velocity, just as you do if you want the bike to balance (Write Quotes)
We should think more about it, and accustom ourselves to the thought of death. We can’t allow the fear of death to creep up on us unexpectedly. We have to make the fear familiar, and one way is to write about it. I don’t think writing and thinking about death is characteristic only of old men. I think that if people began thinking about death sooner, they’d make fewer foolish mistakes (Write Quotes)
Songwriters I’ve always been drawn to are people who deal with something of depth in the lyric writing... I’ve always been influenced by the folk song, the storytelling tradition in folk music. And so for years I wrote mostly story songs. I still do that, but as I’ve gone on, it’s gotten a little more personal. I used to write mostly in the third person. I write a little more in the first person now (Write Quotes)
I think wanting to write is a fundamental sign of disease and discomfort. I don’t think people who are comfortable want to write (Write Quotes)
There are enough people in the world who are going to write you off. You don’t need to do that to yourself (Write Quotes)
You can’t write about stuff you don’t know about. You have to live it. You have to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty. Live life to be a good songwriter (Write Quotes)
Then what shall I write? I can’t just write that this happened then this happened then this happened to boring infinitum. I’ll let my journal grow just like the mind does, just like a tree or beast does, just like life does. Why should a book tell a tale in a dull straight line? Words should wander and meander. They should fly like owls and flicker like bats and slip like cats. They should murmur and scream and dance and sing (Write Quotes)
If you don’t think there is magic in writing, you probably won’t write anything magical (Write Quotes)
The young women of today, free to study, to speak, to write, to choose their occupation, should remember that every inch of this freedom was bought for them at a great price. It is for them to show their gratitude by helping onward the reforms of their own times, by spreading the light of freedom and of truth still wider. The debt that each generation owes to the past it must pay to the future (Write Quotes)
I’d always thought that my awkwardness was a thin veil disguising the real me. The me that was funny and could write songs that touched people. The me that would one day find some beautiful, intelligent boy who’d recognize me as his soul mate. The me who was secretly pretty and stylish if only someone would lift the veil and see. But I was beginning to suspect that underneath the awkwardness there was just more awkwardness and not much else. And that would explain why I stood in a room full of people and felt like the loneliest girl in the world (Write Quotes)
I never meant to be a sexual object for anyone but my husband. I never thought a picture of my body would be tacked up in men’s bathrooms. I hate men looking at me and thinking what they think. And I know what they think. They write and tell me (Write Quotes)
Without dignity our lives are only blinks of duration. But if we manage to lead a good life well, we create something more. We write a subscript to our mortality. We make our lives tiny diamonds in the cosmic sands (Write Quotes)
You will feel discouraged; you will lose confidence in your abilities; you will be bored with the characters–and the only way to overcome these obstacles is to write your way through them. And writing always works (Write Quotes)
As I write in my book, there is a misnomer that destroying another person’s position is an effective and practical way to negotiate (Write Quotes)
Just as we would not traditionally assume that someone is literate if they can read but not write, we should not assume that someone possesses media literacy if they can consume but not express themselves (Write Quotes)
