Benjamin Franklin

Booker T. Washington

I never set out to write a book to change women's lives, to change history. It's like, 'Who, me?' Yes, me. I did it. And I'm not that different from other women. ... Maybe my power and glory was that I could speak my truth as a woman and it was the truth of every woman.

Betty Friedan

Nobody ever committed suicide while reading a good book, but many have while trying to write one.

Randy K. Milholland

Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self.

Cyril Connolly

The young man or woman writing today has forgotten the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself which alone can make good writing because only that is worth writing about, worth the agony and the sweat.

I have never thought of writing for reputation and honor. What I have in my heart must come out; that is the reason why I compose.

Ludwig van Beethoven

I never know what I think about something until I read what I've written on it.

William Faulkner

Read, read, read. Read everything - trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it is good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out the window.

William Faulkner

Write something, even if it's just a suicide note.

Henry Rollins

A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself.

Samuel Goldwyn

I merely took the energy it takes to pout and wrote some blues.

Duke Ellington

I trust that a graduate student some day will write a doctoral essay on the influence of the Munich analogy on the subsequent history of the twentieth century. Perhaps in the end he will conclude that the multitude of errors committed in the name of "Munich" may exceed the original error of 1938.

Novalis

He was always creating things. He painted, he sketched, he wrote beautiful poetry.

Nancy Barr

No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money.

Samuel Johnson

This event was really set up for the writing students at Pitt. The past winners are conducting student workshops that aren't for the public. We wanted to provide wide access to the writers for the students' sake.

We have some fantastic voices in this production, the orchestral and vocal writing is brilliant and the chorus is unbelievable.

Tom Diamond

Jennifer Windsor

I have an existential map; it has 'you are here' written all over it.

Stephen Wright

Isn't it strange that I who have written only unpopular books should be such a popular fellow?

Albert Einstein

He had more sources and contacts than you could possibly imagine. You believed what he wrote. I can't think of a better tribute for any sportswriter.

Jennifer Johnson

I had never written anything before.

Charles Feldmann

I don't really mind what people say about my love life or anything like that, but the one thing is that, yes, I do sing and write all my own music. That is something that I hold really dear.

Ashlee Simpson

Each memorable verse of a true poet has two or three times the written content.

Alfred De Musset

There were epochs in the history of the 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.

Augusto Roa Bastos

As a member of this court I am not justified in writing my private notions of policy into the Constitution, no matter how deeply I may cherish them or how mischievous I may deem their disregard.

Felix Frankfurter

I'm not at the point I want to meet the recipients yet. But I want to know they're OK. It's scary to write to us, but let us know how you're doing.

Susan Spiegel

I do not propose to write an ode to dejection, but to brag as lustily as chanticleer in the morning, standing on his roost, if only to wake his neighbours up.

Henry David Thoreau

How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.

Henry David Thoreau

Don, now, is writing songs. He's never written songs before and he's adding a whole new aspect. I mean drummers are based around getting kids dancing, where I more worry about lyrics. So we're putting it together and writing more melodies for kids to sing along with.

Jason Stollsteimer

Bureaucrats write memoranda both because they appear to be busy when they are writing and because the memos, once written, immediately become proof that they were busy.

Tom Fontana

The problem with any unwritten law is that you don't know where to go to erase it.

Glaser and Way

My reputation was a bit exaggerated. Things were written in newspapers, then copied, then doubled. One of the reasons why I never disclaimed that, was because I found it amusing. But I also constructed such an image for myself in order to gain more of a private life.

Thomas Kretschmann

The reason why so few good books are written is that so few people who can write know anything.

Davarian Baldwin

But what happens in the fourth grade you get individual ways you write - you have a unique way of making your A, O or E's.

Don Strassberg

No, I couldn't have written it any better. I knew this was a good opportunity when I came here, but you never know how it's going to turn out.

Nicole Powell

It was a really intense learning experience because the show was already up and running. We had to assimilate all that had happened in the first half of the season. It was our third day there when they asked us to write some scenes for the next episode. It was trial by fire.

Adam Horowitz

Were written in disappearing ink.

Seth Waxman

Anything that gets students to write is good.

William Harrell

Composers should write tunes that chauffeurs and errand boys can whistle.

Sir Thomas Beecham

Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.

C.S. Lewis

I can't think of anything to write about except families. They are a metaphor for every other part of society.

Anna Quindlen

I know not, sir, whether Bacon wrote the works of Shakespeare, but if he did not it seems to me that he missed the opportunity of his life.

James M. Barrie

Advertising design teaches you the fundamentals of building brands, copy writing, integrated marketing and graphic design is more focused on piece development.

Brian Gillette

I am not one of the great composers. All the great have produced enormously. There is everything in their work - the best and the worst, but there is always quantity. But I have written relatively little.

Maurice Ravel

If I can tell you the story from beginning to end in five minutes, I'm ready to start writing. Then it's a constant spreading out of that five minutes.

The first letter is basically her writing home saying 'I just got to San Francisco,'.

Morgan Hallett

What would become of all historical biography if it was written only with consideration for other peoples' feelings?

Johannes Brahms

I write from solitude and I speak from solitude...However I did not seek solitude. I found it. And from my solitude I think, work, and live - and I believe that I write and speak with almost infinite composure and resignation. In my solitude I consta.

Camilo Jose Cela

When athletes write poetry, it shows students (athletes) aren't all just macho - they can have a poetic side, too.

Tom Poti

Oh well, I guess it's time to go write.

Jim Mcconnell

He's probably the most interesting musician I've met in the last 10 years. You can write anything for him, and he can play it.

Stanley Clarke

I was very much involved in updating the imagery, so it will seem new in terms of the latest effects, but we haven't changed the text we wrote 25 years ago.

Ann Druyan

The future is unwritten.

Joe Strummer

Silence was never written down.

Italian Proverb

You can't ever let your marketing department write a check your back-end can't cash.

Bill Bass

It's part of a pattern at the Post where they're gradually been getting rid of all the people who write interesting copy on China or Hong Kong and toning down the paper. It's basically a process of self-censorship.

Jasper Becker

Edward Sells, not being stupid, saw the writing on the wall.

Gillian Tindall

I wrote two political letters this morning - as a retired country gentleman, who now teaches at the university, and writes books.

Fred Allen

There are a thousand thoughts lying within a man that he does not know till he takes up a pen to write.

William Makepeace Thackeray

The job fair will assist returning Arizona National Guard soldiers, marines and airmen from Iraq and Afghanistan. In addition, we'll sponsor workshops to assist in networking strategies, resume writing, interviewing skills, and the like.

Bill Bowen

It was about things he had always wanted to write about, but was never quite able to.

Bruce Jackson

The basic skills of math, English and writing are not enough, ... You must develop a basic system of values to form and guide the use of these skills. The true test will not be what you learned in college, but how you used what you learned.

Jim Rogers

The secret is to write just anything, to dare to write just anything, because when you write just anything, you begin to say what is important.

Julian Green

In our period, they say there is free speech. They say there is no penalty for poets, There is no penalty for writing poems. They say this. This is the penalty.

Muriel Rukeyser

This is a soft-money ban. If my opponent will agree to sign it, we'll have it in writing.

Rick Lazio

In civilized societies, if you are offended by a cartoon, you do not burn flags, take up guns and raid buildings, chant death to your opponents, or threaten suicide bombings. You write a letter to the editor.

Michelle Malkin

Can I still write music? Do I have anything to say? Does anyone still care?

Nine Inch Nails

In the back of your mind, when you say you want to write music for the movies, you're saying that you want a big house, a big car and a boat. If you just wanted to write music, you could live in Kansas and do it.

Bill Conti

I have a great amount of respect for a guy who's still enthusiastic after 20, 30 or 40 years of what they do, ... When I saw Jerry at the Super Bowl in Jacksonville this year, I saw that here's a guy who, after so many years of doing this, is still involved in the game and in writing a story.

Peter King

I've always loved writing.

Casper Van Dien

We wrote our names in Egyptian and did scrolls. We made self-portraits as queens or pharaohs.

Michael Lane

One of our main goals for the club is to make this as a fundamental of good writing for the students. And maybe someday, they can write a persuasive paper that they can propose to the principal for some changes upon the school.

Aaron Day

There was a song that he just had the words for. He published in Esquire, his column, he said these words are up for grabs. Anybody out there, you can write the chords and melody, send it in and we'll pick a winner.

Tim Fagan

We don't care if she's slaying vampires or working as a nanny or living in Philadelphia. It's chick lit, so who cares? You know what we call what men write? Books.

Jennifer Weiner

She was a marvelous playwright who wrote vital, important female characters and vital, important male characters. Like many writers, she drew on personal experiences. But she was also a gifted observer of the human condition.

James Bundy

I would say I'd rather dig a ditch, you know, do hard, manual labor than write lyrics.

Natalie Merchant

The first two years were taken up with dealing with the aftershocks of Midnight 's success, ... I began to think I should write another book.

John Berendt

[The Economist wrote,] Then there is Lewis and Clark, always a trump card in Montana. ... 'almost a slap in the face' for this year's bicentennial celebration.

Bob Clark

He's a remarkable intellect with a unique expression in his writing that is challenging and philosophical.

David Greenbaum

The ultimate test of a finished account executive is his ability to write a sound marketing plan.

Morris Hite

We rehearsed in the same place as Curt, so we saw him all the time and everything, but he wasn't in the band. It started out with just John Felice and me. I wrote to John from Israel saying I wanted to start a band when I got back home.

Jonathan Richman

What is important is all elements of the Indonesian side must obey what is written in the agreement.

Sofyan Dawood

In which democratic country does the government, on the eve of an election, rewrite the rules?

Piero Fassino

I'm very happy to be back in touch with a part of myself, ... It's surreal. For 35 years, I never thought I'd be reunited with the music I wrote during the Creedence Clearwater Revival years.

John Fogerty

The play was written before a lot of things that have informed how we feel about the military, but I think it is going to resonate.

Aaron Sorkin

You have written history in a very major way and you have also written a new chapter in the way that nations worked together.

Ryan Crocker

When the guild was first founded, it was more social in a way, although they did things on a big scale to make money. One thing they did: They wrote to movie stars and had on the stage an auction. Like a scarf from somebody and a shoe from somebody else.

Marjorie Belka

Opinions alter, manners change, creeds rise and fall, but the moral laws are written on the table of eternity.

Lord Acton

It is not everyone who could sit and write something like this. You would have to have some background on how pipelines work.

Rita Katz

Unconscious. Mary Pat wanted to win this game so bad, it was written all over her face. Every inning, every pitch, she was humming the ball in there and hitting her spots. She was in command, but she was psyched up to play and she showed such emotion. You could tell, every batter, she was fired up. It was awesome.

Laurie Markatos

It's embarrassing and it does highlight the fact that there seem to be some real operational risk issues in NAB. Every time they write a loan, they code what sector it should be and they've been misallocating some of those codes.

Brian Johnson

I've always written about the larger social events of the moment. It just seemed like I had to confront this one.

Jay Mcinerney

We did a video for the song "No One Special" on the CD, which my wife wrote the screenplay and directed. We haven't thought about it. We had an old one on VHS that came out a while back. As far as a new one, we aren't doing that right now.

Robert Cray

We see the writing on the wall of some changes that could be taking place in the copper market. However, at this point, we're not necessarily at a point where we can call for that yet.

Dave Meger

I grew up in the theatre. It's where I got my start. Writing a television drama with theatrical dialogue about the theatre is beyond perfection.

Aaron Sorkin

So if we see somebody smoking on site, we see the ash trays and the cigarette butts that is evidence that smoking has been occurring and let them know that that is a violation of the way the ordinance has been written.

Lisa Cauldwell

I've gone through a lot of transitions and with all of that I wrote a song, which was really great.

Brigette Brannan

[Letter writing] helps you develop a way to think, ... It builds your intelligence, helps your ability to respond to something better.

Will Anderson

The fight implicated both the future of race relations and the prestige of two powerful nations. ... 'Louis represents democracy in its purest form: the Negro boy who would be permitted to become a world champion without regard to race, creed or color,' a sportswriter from Boston had written that morning. 'Schmeling represents a country which does not recognize that idea or ideal.'?

David Margolick

Like Kay Boyle, whose work I'm wild about, I could have married, written a book with every baby, a baby with every book.

Marguerite Young

A 33-year-old man wrote that in a matter of weeks. A 67-year-old man can't come back to it.

John Guare

You, men of England, who have no right to this Kingdom of France, the King of Heaven orders and notifies you through me, Joan the Maiden, to leave your fortresses and go back to your own country; or I will produce a clash of arms to be eternally remembered. And this is the third and last time I have written to you; I shall not write anything further.

Joan of Arc

Write how you want, the critic shall show the world you could have written better.

Oliver Goldsmith

Just be careful. I mean, I can't believe that someone would just go out, get these checks out of your statement, and just write checks and people cash them. It's unbelievable.

Valerie Hill

Great poetry is always written by somebody straining to go beyond what he can do.

Stephen Spender

Look inside yourself and you'll find a world of things (a world of your own experiences) worth writing about.

Bette Greene

Behind closed doors each winter the college admissions committee riffles through the folders of concerto - writing East Coast preppies, football stars from the Corn Belt and ghetto valedictorians.

Arthur Lubow

I was also on the collective bargaining team, the due-process hearing officers, and I wrote a large amount of grants.

Tonna Burgos

I began writing a book on love because I felt that the United States is moving away from love.

Bell Hooks

My business is drawing, not writing, and this text is pretty much background for the drawings.

William H. Mauldin

Well, I know they've always told you/Selfishness was wrong/Yet it was for me, not you, I came to write this song/.

Neil Peart

It was completely unintentional, really. We did write a few progressive and more traditional metal songs early on, but I think the band sounds best on the ones we ended up putting on the record. It's refreshing to do a debut album with a new band because there are really no restrictions to what you can do.

David Ellefson

I write like I talk.

Roger Miller

We as a people are still waiting on the transcripts from the last town hall. We only have some of the answers to the questions that were written that night.

Cynthia Maddox

We really didn't understand the full implications of how this written and what it would do.

Leanne Winner

Beauty can't amuse you, but brainwork - reading, writing, thinking - can.

Helen Gurley Brown

(His greatest legacy is) the prolificacy of what he's written. From small to large groups, everyone can relate to his music.

Jeff Kluball

Never tell anyone that you're writing a book, going on a diet, exercising, taking a course, or quitting smoking. They'll encourage you to death.

Lynn Johnston

My mom has been calling out words from books, and I write them down and then she checks them to make sure I spelled them right. I like to read and work crossword puzzles, but I really like to be outside more.

River Mann

It took far too long for this book to be written. But it also took a long time for Germany as a nation to be able to look clearly at what happened in the Nazi era.

Otto Schily

It will rewrite the science textbooks on Mars.

Jim Graf

Sometimes I think [my writing] sounds like I walked out of the room and left the typewriter running.

Gene Fowler

Dennis is very affable. He likes to joke all the time. He has a very open personality. I thought I would like to write a piece for him.

Fred Cohen

It makes me feel wonderful that people still care for me... that I have so many fans among young people, who write to me and tell me I have been an inspiration.

Bette Page

There are so many opportunities in life, that the loss of two or three capabilities is not necessarily debilitating. A handicap can give you the opportunity to focus more on art, writing, or music.

Jim Davis

When the history of the Rehnquist court is written, it will be about a justice who moved the court in a conservative direction, but in a way that did not tear the court apart.

David Yalof

When the history of the 20th century Congress is written — post-World War I to the present — Tom DeLay will emerge, in the judgment of any honest historian, as one of the more influential leaders of the century. For him to pull back from the leadership will leave a vacuum.

Mike Franc

I wanted the public throughout the country to get a taste of him. Those of us in Washington, who grew up with him, knew all about him. He wrote for 13 presidents, for crying out loud.

Maury Povich

What women often wrote about their fears was that breast cancer might cut short their time to enjoy family and be around for important milestones as their children grow older. It appeared that the closer a woman felt to her family or larger social network, the more she feared her potential separation from them as a result of breast cancer.

Bret Shaw

The key to writing real characters is not to treat everybody like a real person and give everybody a good side and a bad.

Jon Favreau

Here's an example: A series of car break-ins is occurring at trailhead parking lots in your area. A reporter writes a short article about the problem, identifying some of the locations of the vandalism. As a sidebar to the conventionally written story, trail users are invited to post their experiences of having their cars broken into, including submitting photos.

Steve Outing

Usually, I write my stuff and then he takes it and writes his part, his stuff. Sometimes, the two of us will sit together and write, too ... I have taken to taking my cellphone with me to sound-check in case I come up with some idea.

Dan Estrin

I totally understand all the bad press, ... It's not about the book, but the ideas in it and the way these guys speak. But on the other hand, this is how these guys speak when they're together. So if I wrote a book that was unassailable in that direction, it wouldn't be an honest book ... if a guy was open about his sexual feelings all the time, he would become a total outcast.

Neil Strauss

As a person of judicial integrity who wrote acceptably well and contributed in more than one field. I'd like to be known just as a good worker in the vineyard who held his own and contributed generally to the advancement of the law.

Harry A. Blackmun

I've been up and down and written off so many times by that city, it just makes me laugh now. When you're hot, you have agents who would do anything, they'd drink your piss if you asked them to, excuse my language. But then when you're cold, when things aren't moving, they just have no time for you.

Robin Dunne

I wish that every opera company in America had a VOX season. There is nothing more helpful in making the public aware of the richness and variety of operatic music being written today. The composers represent the entire country. In fact, I would go so far as to say that the VOX season is a National Treasure!

John Eaton

She signs the statement. She has me write it out; she doesn't want to write it out. By the way, she didn't want it recorded; I gave her an opportunity.

Undersheriff Ern Hudson

I feel like we wrote a road map or a handbook to help them navigate this particularly challenging time in the kitchen. If you can create a habit of this preparing and planning, this is going to cut a lot of stress out of your life. If you can take the stress out of the equation by having a plan, you're going to change how you feel about the dinner plan.

Cynthia Graubart

Every songwriter lives to have at least one song that a cab driver who asks 'You write anything I know?' will recognize.

Rupert Holmes

People love to think that you're an idiot, so I try to keep my mouth shut and act dumb. That's usually when I'm writing my songs- usually about the egomaniacs who are busy looking down at this dolt they have working for them.

Travis Gerke

Smokers are well aware of the health risks of smoking. There's no need to rub their noses in it, ... All that is needed is a simple written warning.

Simon Clark

Works of imagination should be written in very plain language; the more purely imaginative they are the more necessary it is to be plain.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

I wanted to write for someone who had real pipes. She can sing.

Bob Costello

KORAN, n. A book which the Mohammedans foolishly believe to have been written by divine inspiration, but which Christians know to be a wicked imposture, contradictory to the Holy Scriptures.

Ambrose Bierce

It didn't cost anything to e-mail it. I'm not sure exactly, but it normally takes only an hour or two for us to write something of that length. … Most of that information came from the speech, which was already developed.

Carla Blanton

The way to write American music is simple. All you have to do is be an American and then write any kind of music you wish.

Virgil Thomson

U.S. economic reports serve to remind investors that U.S. economic growth remains solid, and as long as this continues, writing the U.S. dollar off could prove a costly strategy.

John Kyriakopoulos

I wrote myself a check for ten million dollars for acting services rendered and dated it Thanksgiving 1995. I put it in my wallet and it deteriorated. And then, just before Thanksgiving 1995, I found out I was going to make ten million dollars for Dumb & Dumber. I put that check in the casket with my father because it was our dream together.

Jim Carrey

If you can't write your message in a sentence, you can't say it in an hour.

Dianna Booher

[And now that he's graduated to hardcover and 11-city book tour status, he's found there's a real advantage to the standalone novels that Dutton suggested he write.] You can explore broader themes in a standalone novel, ... You can put your character through much greater levels of hell.

Jeff Abbott

The Vagina Monologues is beautifully written and I'm delighted to be following in the footsteps of magnificent actresses like Annie Potts, Gina Gershon, Audra McDonald and Claire Danes. In addition, working for the brilliant director Joe Mantello is an opportunity not to be missed.

Donna Hanover

Great writing is great writing. It's as simple as all that.

Kate Mulgrew

I was going to go to an out-of-state university and needed funding for it. This sounded like a lot more fun than writing an essay for scholarship money.

Krystal Long

Support Jay Walker 100 percent. The final story hasn't been written yet.

Jay Walker

One of the most imperative supplies is a roll of silver duct tape. A strip of duct tape on the front hooves will not come off until you take it off. On the tape, write the horse's name and where they live and directions.

Diane Sauve

They wrote a very interesting musical score to it. It's not just old standard Western songs at all. It runs the gamut of musical types.

Ron Lambert

If you don't have permission ? and we require written permission ? than you're not allowed to ride in an area.

Angelo Bitsis

It's done in a very condensed amount of time essentially the time it takes for a dinner party. It's extremely sharp and focused writing. As usual, his ear is very sharp.

Ted Pappas

One unwritten rule is for guys doing power (weight) lifting who are grunting, yelling and screaming. Try not to make obnoxious sounds. Everybody knows you're here.

Brian Fritz

I can't write my life story without Emmitt and Troy. They can't write their life stories without me. We're tied together forever. This is a day to remember for the rest of our lives.
