Write Quotes

Let those who will write the nation’s laws, if I can write its textbooks Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I think wanting to write is a fundamental sign of disease and discomfort. I don’t think people who are comfortable want to write Picture Quote #1

When I set out to write, I want to write something that will rip your heart out Picture Quote #1

There are enough people in the world who are going to write you off. You don’t need to do that to yourself Picture Quote #1

My ignorance is essential. I do not write what I know but what I need to know Picture Quote #1

I like having people with me to lean on and write with and have fun with Picture Quote #1

I’m a young woman and I’m going to write about what I know Picture Quote #1

I’m frequently asked why I don’t write my memoirs. I think I have Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

If you don’t think there is magic in writing, you probably won’t write anything magical Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

To get the truth, you want to get your own heart to pound while you write Picture Quote #1

It is better to write a bad first draft than to write no first draft at all Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

When I write a paper, I change my notation much more than I change my concepts Picture Quote #1

I don’t recommend being a bachelor, but it helps if you want to write Picture Quote #1

The first task of the poet is to create the person who will write the poems Picture Quote #1

It’s easy to write one’s memoirs when one has a terrible memory Picture Quote #1

To write honestly and with all our powers is the least we can do, and the most Picture Quote #1

When I read it, I don’t wince, which is all I ever ask for a book I write Picture Quote #1

The worst thing you write is better than the best thing you didn’t write Picture Quote #1

If you’re still watching, write in and we’ll send you a fiver each Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

As I write in my book, there is a misnomer that destroying another person’s position is an effective and practical way to negotiate Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
