Wrote Quotes

There were epochs in the history of humanity in which the writer was a sacred person. He wrote the sacred books, universal books, the codes, the epic, the oracles. Sentences inscribed on the walls of the crypts; examples in the portals of the temples. But in those times the writer was not an individual alone; he was the people Picture Quote #1

Shakespeare wrote about love. I write about love. Shakespeare wrote about gang warfare, family feuds and revenge. I write about all the same things Picture Quote #1

No one trusts a model except the man who wrote it; everyone trusts an observation, except the man who made it Picture Quote #1

I look to everyday magic in art to remember how to live: how to estrange and vivify ordinary objects and beings. So little, really, is ordinary, but to remember this I need the brain chemical of painting and film and reading I had a thrummy doomed oracular feeling when I wrote blackened baby teeth into my little blind boy story: I saw teeth and in an instant they were becoming something else. They were buckshot. They were food. They were tiny flightless corvids Picture Quote #1

One changes, as a writer, fairly quickly; what you wrote six months or a year ago might not sound right anymore Picture Quote #1

I am sure it has been done with less, but you should be prepared to write and throw away a million words of finished material. By finished, I mean completed, done, ready to submit, and written as well as you know how at the time you wrote it. You may be ashamed of it later, but that’s another story Picture Quote #1

No book has yet been written in praise of a woman who let her husband and children starve or suffer while she invented even the most useful things, or wrote books, or expressed herself in art, or evolved philosophic systems Picture Quote #1

A few years ago I wrote two versions of my obituary, the one I wanted and the one I was heading for. They were very different. I realized I needed to make some big changes if I was going to look back and be proud of my life. I am making those changes, and now I have a life worth living Picture Quote #1

One of the pervasive risks that we face in the information age, as I wrote in the introduction, is that even if the amount of knowledge in the world is increasing, the gap between what we know and what we think we know may be widening Picture Quote #1

I wrote it alone, for him, to interest him, to please him, to occupy him. I wasn’t young, nor particularly pretty. I needed something which might interest a man like him Picture Quote #1

He promoted the education of the parish clergy and wrote: He seems to me a very foolish man, and very wretched, who will not increase his understanding while he is in the world, and ever wish and long to reach that endless life where all shall be made clear Picture Quote #1

I have never met an author who was sorry he or she wrote a book. They are only sorry they did not write it sooner Picture Quote #1

I often wonder if you wrote your memoir today, if your life story would be lived on the edge of possibility, if you held wonder in one hand and courage in the other and truly believed that anything was possible Picture Quote #1

Danger has been a part of my life ever since I picked up a pen and wrote. Nothing is more perilous than truth in a world that lies Picture Quote #1

I put a piece of paper under my pillow, and when I could not sleep I wrote in the dark Picture Quote #1

There is a big difference between wanting to say you wrote a book, and actually writing one. Many people think they want to write, even though they find crafting sentences and paragraphs unpleasant. They hope there is a way to write without writing. I can tell you with certainty there isn’t one Picture Quote #1

There’s not much a newspaper reporter can do about dead men. But a newspaper reporter and a cop and a judge can deliver some justice. That’s why the founding fathers wrote it up the way they did, I suppose. Life. Liberty. Pursuit of happiness. Everyone is entitled to those things Picture Quote #1

I want a storm to come and flood us into a song that no one wrote Picture Quote #1

The genome is a book that wrote itself, continually adding, deleting and amending over four billion years Picture Quote #1

I started writing everything down.I wrote for the same reason someone lost sticks a message in a bottle. I’m here. Help. Please find me Picture Quote #1

Francie was ten years old when she first found an outlet in writing. What she wrote was of little consequence. What was important was that the attempt to write stories kept her straight on the dividing line between truth and fiction. If she had not found this outlet in writing, she might have grown up to be a tremendous liar Picture Quote #1

I think I wrote once that baseball in many ways is very much like reading. I said there are more bad books than bad ballgames, or maybe it was the other way around. I can’t remember Picture Quote #1

I used to play golf with a guy who cheated so badly that he once had a hole in one and wrote down zero on the scorecard Picture Quote #1

When the founders wrote about life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, they didn’t mean longer vacations and more comfortable hammocks. They meant the pursuit of learning. The pursuit of improvement and excellence. In hard work is happiness Picture Quote #1

I’d like to be remembered as a guy that came along and did his music, did his best and showed up on time, clean and ready to do the job, wrote a few songs and had a hell of a time Picture Quote #1

Acting is just common sense. It isn’t hard if you put yourself aside and just do what the writer wrote Picture Quote #1

It is immature and lazy to imagine we know everything there is to know about someone before we know that someone. We don’t know their stories, their histories, their real live human feelings. We don’t know their favorite movies and best memories and what makes them afraid. It is unfair to take one fact, one thing they’ve said or we heard they said, or one thing they wrote, or someone else’s experience, or a group they identify with and make a character sketch. If people did that to us, the picture would be so woefully incomplete, we wouldn’t even recognize our own description Picture Quote #1

If you wrote something, you deserve to get paid and recognized for your work. No one should take a bow with another man’s hat Picture Quote #1

I can count on one hand the number of people who wrote me a thank you letter after having an interview, and I gave almost all of them a job Picture Quote #1

People ask what was the first piece of music I wrote. There was no first piece Picture Quote #1
