It's not easy. Many, many, many songs have been written about it. We wouldn't have anything to read if relationships were easy. There would be no art in the world if we actually got along.

Claire Danes

We have our own system, ... and journalists in our system are not put in prison for embarrassing the government by revealing things the government might not wish to have revealed. The important thing is that our system, under which journalists can write without fear or favor, should continue.

Chris Patten

It's intriguing to people. The concept of (consumer) services sounds interesting. But I don't see it being the first market. I think it's first going to be used with the enterprise, to write systems.

Lee Morgan

For homework tonight, write in your journal section about how your dreams now will determine your future success.

Jean Webb

These guys are just the best. The entire Watts family are very big supporters of this community. For any kind of charitable work - you come in and ask, and they immediately get out their checkbooks and write you a check. They are really supportive, and I just hope the community will come together and support them now.

Jeff Longnecker

Thus, with child to speak, and helpless in my throes, biting my truant pen, beating myself for spite: Fool! said my muse to me, look in thy heart, and write.

Sir Philip Sidney

To be honest, when I was writing these stories a million years ago, I never thought about movies at all one way or another. It would have seemed almost miraculous for these things to be movies someday. To me, they were just comic books that I hoped would sell so I could keep my job.

Stan Lee

Monsieur l'abbé, I detest what you write, but I would give my life to make it possible for you to continue to write.

Voltaire

The father tried to help...and got struck himself, ... I met with Raleigh a couple days later, took his written statement, and observed about six stitches in the back of his head.

Robert Myers

What I like about vampires is what I like about everything I want to write about, the depths and heights, the pain and joy. Life.

Tanith Lee

Write down things that you'd like for the future, whether it's a new top or a book that you want to read.

Cherri Croghan

If you're going to write about things that are as old as mankind, you've got to find a new, fresh way to write about them, to make people interested. Winchell found a way.

Pete Hamill

I sometimes don't know what songs are about for several years after I've written them.

Justin Hayward

Now, if, as I think, writing should be, it's a kind of risky trade.

Al Alvarez

In my mind, the kid writing on the stall door is the least important in the school.

Todd Whitaker

The greatest thing is the motivation, it makes you kick into gear, being around all these people who are so passionate about writing - it is contagious.

Anne Wallace

Defense and rebounding win championships and those two things are hard work. I have it written on the board up there that offense sells tickets, but defense wins championships.

Karrmayne King

After spending three years of my life looking into this, I am more convinced than ever that the U.S. government's responsibility for the drug problems in South Central Los Angeles and other inner cities is greater than I ever wrote in the newspaper.

Gary Webb

The most casual examination will reveal the fact that all the jokes about the horrible results of masculine cooking and sewing are written by men. It is all part of a great scheme of sex propaganda.

Heywood C. Broun

She was fearless. She's never really content to stay in one place musically. You can listen to her song and hear all sorts of different influences ... it comes across in her playing and writing.

Rich Medd

To me not one thing is better than anything else, I'm completely proud of everything I've written and recorded.

Jerry Cantrell

Many books require no thought from those who read them, and for a very simple reason; they made no such demand upon those who wrote them.

Charles Caleb Colton

They not only teach children about responsibility, compassion and caring, they have been used in a host of learning applications in math and writing.

Jennifer Wolf

He asked us to write a song. We went home, and we were out walking the dog and started playing with lyrics and melody. Annette has a wonderful ear for music. She kind of started out in musical comedy, and she's always been a singer and dancer - but she's never been a songwriter before, but she just has a great natural sense of what sounds good.

Michael Mckean

I wrote that song as sort of a prayer, listing all of the things I would do once the plane landed safely on the ground.

Lalah Hathaway

[It charged that Mr. Newman had falsely and maliciously written in his 2004 autobiography,] Here Be Dragons: Telling Tales of People, Passion and Power, ... engaged in a wide range of criminal acts spanning many years, including mail and wire fraud, interstate transportation of stolen property and money laundering.

Lord Black

I am so fond of tea that I could write a whole dissertation on its virtues. It comforts and enlivens without the risks attendant on spirituous liquors. Gentle herb! Let the florid grape yield to thee. Thy soft influence is a more safe inspirer of social joy.

James Boswell

Anybody who has been seriously engaged is scientific work of any kind realizes that over the entrance to the gates of the temple of science are written the words: 'Ye must have faith.' It is a quality which the scientist cannot dispense with.

Max Planck

I've been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you. Each one a line or two: "I'm fine, baby. How are you?" I would send them, but I know that it's just not enough. My words are cold and flat, and you deserve more than that.

Michael Buble

I have never felt that her sexuality is an issue in her work. She has largely managed to transcend the issue by virtue of writing good poems as opposed to gender studies.

Peter Jay

I get a fine warm feeling when I'm doing well, but that pleasure is pretty much negated by the pain of getting started each day. Let's face it, writing is hell.

William Styron

When those photos went up, he began hyperventilating and I was about to write a note to the bailiff to warn him to watch out.

Tom Clarke

He wrote a 36-page autobiography that said any member of my family would run into a burning building to save another member. He said that on the highway of love, my family is neck and neck with God.

Charlie Ebersol

The students have planned the entire show from conception, to deciding what theme it would be, to selecting the models, and selecting the stores that we will be featuring. They write the commentary, they are the commentators, and they are physically making the clothes.

Tricia Poythress

We're used to local control where local boards of education write curriculum, they determine opening and closing dates, they determine the holidays and so on.

Phil Fox

You write values questions people can agree or disagree to, and then you use some fancy statistical routines to be able to characterize who's in what group.

Brooke Warrick

Writing is good, thinking is better. Cleverness is good, patience is better.

Herman Hesse

The Prince of Wales has not 'bombarded' ministers with his views but has written to them from time to time on issues which he believes to be important.

Sir Michael Peat

I urge everyone to write your Congressman. To keep the public safe, fire departments desperately need to have the continued access to grant monies in the same, or even greater amounts, as in previous years.

Jackie Vaughn

I would tell them and they write what I was saying.

Lt Migadde Ssemakula

The pace of development is outstripping our ability to manage the environmental issue. Our unwritten energy policy is dig it up and sell it as fast as possible.

Marlo Raynolds

I write music with an exclamation point!

Richard Wagner

Everyone thinks they can write a play; you just write down what happened to you. But the art of it is drawing from all the moments of your life.

Neil Simon

Write off Australia at your peril. Most sides are at their most dangerous when they are down. If Australia find the form they displayed at Lord's, they'll be back on top again.

Allan Border

We need to know how to save a penny once in a while or write a check. You'd be surprised how many people don't know how to do that.

Jim Elam

I believe in being transpar-ent. Jim was writing [the letter] as chairman of the Board of Finance.

Michael Hoffman

At this stage it looks like a two horse race between John Barrowman and Bonnie Langford but don't write off David Seaman, he has pulled off some great saves in the past.

Rupert Adams

I'm a writer and this is what I love to do. There's no reason that just because you're a celebrity you can't write.

Gloria Estefan

I think the crucial thing in the writing career is to find what you want to do and how you fit in. What somebody else does is of no concern whatever except as an interesting variation.

James A. Michener

I think at the age of 50, everyone should write their own autobiography, ... There's just something about being half-a-century (old). And there are things I learned about myself that helped me a great deal when I wrote this book.

Richard Simmons

A lot of people don't realize that if you can write off $3,000 to $4,000 on a home office and it's justified, you'll get half that back in your refund.

David Fisher

Write Your Name Across My Heart.

Lou Rawls

I wouldn't write anything autobiographical. If you've lived a life like Laurence of Arabia, it might be a consideration, but otherwise it's a little bit vain, it seems to me.

James Lee Burke

Henry Miller may write about revelers self-woven into a human hooked rug, because his ecstasy is solemn.

A. J. Liebling

Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act.

Truman Capote

I think the fact that we write honest music is part of our appeal.

Bert Mccracken

(The tenants) trash that place every week and you'll get a write-up from the city every week. It is out of my scope to control what people do.

Charles Kirby

There is usually an agreement between the person and the trustee that this will happen. But you certainly don't want it written down.

David R. Bergmann

The greatest single portfolio of songs ever written by any one person in the history of country music.

Hank Williams

Writing a book has provided the single greatest return on investment than any other business decision I have ever made in the history of the company.

Todd Hopkins

[To date, Shane Mungit remains Weller's] most interesting role. I thought Richard [Greenberg] did an amazing job of writing such a strangely sympathetic, but dangerous, narrow-minded young man. He was an amazingly complicated character. ... I just worked on the sympathetic part. To me, what made that character wonderful was his intense, emotional need. That was the main challenge.

Frederick Weller

[Bret Hart is upset with Ric Flair. Last week, he wrote a 3,783-word diatribe taking Flair to task for things written about in his book, To Be The Man.] Never, in all my life, ... have I ever been so infuriated by ridiculous statements made about me.

Bret Harte

Roberts doesn't become leader of the court just by becoming chief justice. The dynamic is not written into any kind of procedure. It's got to take its own shape.

Stephen Wermiel

That's when I got enough volume that people would add to the articles. Experts would write in with more information, corrections, new topic ideas ... stuff like that.

Marshall Brain

They must have been showing a lot of his films in Iraq. We got a lot of mail from the soldiers over there. They'd ask for a picture and we'd send them and write back to the boys. He felt very good about it.

Fran Schenkel

I've been around Penn State my entire life, so I have a good perspective for its history. Forty years from now when they write about Michael Robinson, they'll write that he was the ultimate team player. That's all you need to know about him.

Jay Paterno

At the beginning of the season, we set a bunch of goals, and this was one of them. Coach [Tina Martin] asked us if we wanted to be part of history, and that's all everybody was talking about today, 20 wins. A couple people wrote it on their shoes.

Tyresa Smith

The human head is bigger than the globe. It conceives itself as containing more. It can think and rethink itself and ourselves from any desired point outside the gravitational pull of the earth. It starts by writing one thing and later reads itself as something else. The human head is monstrous.

Gunther Grass

Search for the reasons you want to lose weight. Write a list, and then add to the list. The more outcomes you have in mind, the more that strengthens your ability to stay with a diet. Obviously, those with more at stake will have more reasons.

Linda Spangle

I really hadn't written anything for nearly 15 years, ... I've been pretty much living alone, and I can take an entire house and make music in it and not bother anybody.

Dave Mason

First you write down your goal; your second job is to break down your goal into a series of steps, beginning with steps which are absurdly easy.

Fitzhugh Dodson

I'd love to have another film to go on to. I'm in the mood to work. But I have to be patient, you know, to find that particular kind of project. Occasionally I'll write one myself if I can summon up the energy.

Peter Weir

There's this process that comes about in writing a song where you just stop and see where it can go. Generally, a song will stay with the same idea. I might be thinking about a particular person, for instance. Then it will kind of go from there. And maybe by the end of the song, it will become something more universal.

Lucinda Williams

I don't imagine I would have chosen to spend the last twenty-six years of my life writing about a character whose values and virtues I disdained.

Robert Parker

I had started writing the fourth Whit Mosley book, ... I was 40 pages into it, and then Dutton asked me if I would consider writing a standalone. The series novel can do a lot to build a loyal readership, but the standalone is sometimes easier for the publisher to market to a broader audience.

Jeff Abbott

When the writing test is given, they've had so much practice that it won't seem like a test.

Robyn Rogers

If Moses had gone to Harvard Law School and spent three years working on the Hill, he would have written the Ten Commandments with three exceptions and a saving clause.

Charles Morgan

We've met with the band a few times in Los Angeles. The original idea was to gather a dozen or so Sparks songs as sort of a stamp of approval of our band. And they want to do one or two songs where we write and perform them together. We hope it will happen as soon as there is a gap in both bands' schedules.

Russell Mael

The more formal structure gives the city a level of confidence-a way to professionally channel tax dollars for community projects. But we write grants all the time that (the city) says no to.

Angela Rae

How do we acquire our first language? Fist we hear it, then we understand it, then we speak it, then we read it, then we write it.

Mary Cimbalnik

Just watching him run around in practice, seeing how fast he is, you could see how he could do that. I really respect him for what he's doing out here. We like to kid him, though, about his scouting job, wondering what he's writing about himself.

Stuart Schweigert

It has taken me years of struggle, hard work and research to learn to make one simple gesture, and I know enough about the art of writing to realize that it would take as many years of concentrated effort to write one simple, beautiful sentence.

Isadora Duncan

He was very good. He could sit at a desk and write this music and, unlike a lot of them who faked it, he could really hear it in his head.

Steve Reich

We need men with moral courage to speak and write their real thoughts, and to stand by their convictions, even to the very death.

Robert Green Ingersoll

We do not get to this age to be written off. Older people can act as a support system, which is what happens more in Mediterranean countries. People become much wiser as they get older and we should value that.

Susan Hampshire

A lot of it was purely fictional, speculation on my part. I figured the reaction from the White House was that whoever wrote this thing had no idea what the Clintons were all about. Then, shockingly, people in the White House started accusing each other of having written it. That reaction was what really set if off.

Joe Klein

I told him you do it by what you write. We're in competition with ourselves. We've got a legacy and we can answer that legacy, ... If it doesn't fly musically, we're not going to do it.

Billy Payne

Millions of words are written annually purporting to tell how to beat the races, whereas the best possible advice on the subject is found in the three monosyllables: 'Do not try.'

Dan Parker

Our feedback says that there is a silent revolution taking place in West Bengal. The people are on the verge of writing history ... A new epoch will start from May 12.

Mamata Banerjee

The first book I wrote was The Bride Price which was a romantic book, but my husband burnt the book when he saw it. I was the typical African woman, I'd done this privately, I wanted him to look at it, approve it and he said he wouldn't read it.

Buchi Emecheta

I'm always looking for something kind of melancholy, ... I guess I was trying to mix these things without really knowing it. I write in a way that's more subconscious, just trying to articulate some mystery that's not obvious.

Chris Whitley

The piano concertos contain some of his beautiful writing.

Robert Walzel

What a woman says to her avid lover should be written in wind and running water.

Catullus

I feel like it's the first time in 25 years of writing that my work has truly been 'realized' the way I intended. I think Phil knows the people I write about, the place, and we share a similar vision, so when we communicate we're in sync. We both feel our collaboration brings out the best in each other, and I am really thrilled with the reception it has received.

Angus Maclachlan

The results are nothing to write home about, ... disappointment.

Craig Moffett

She wrote in a statement. ''If there are 'memoranda of understanding' between this country and the brutal regimes from which they have fled, those have not been provided to those men or to us.

Gareth Peirce

I think he's been explicit telling people what they really don't want to hear because of the way the rules are written. Unfortunately, the state legislature is the only one that can change things.

Ashlee Johnson

I got a team of songwriters I used to work with, and we wrote songs day and night.

Aj Case

I knew I wanted to be involved in writing and I was decent in public speaking. But I didn't grow up ever thinking I'd be a TV anchor.

Brooke Baldwin

[A sane person would have turned down the assignment.] And all this risk for what? ... To satisfy my selfish sense of curiosity? To write a magazine article?

Peter Stark

Unlike almost every other novel, I wrote Larks for myself, meaning that it was essentially done when I first showed it to an editor.

Robert Reed

He said, 'I'm know I'm screwing you up.' I said, Joe you've know me 10 years. I've always written that way.' It pumps the kids up, too. They like it. It makes them feel special.

Gary Tuck

Orwell is almost our litmus test. Some of his satirical writing looks like reality these days.

John Pilger

Sure, we'd love to make more money; we'd even love to play a few less dates in a year and spend more time writing songs and working on a new record. But the truth of the matter is that we need to play a lot of dates in a year for financial reasons, and it works out that we love to do it, so we have no complaints.

Mark Stuart

Single-handedly wrote an operating system.

Open Source

I helped with the songwriting, yes. When I joined, we tweaked the songs. We scrapped the lyrics and melodies the other singer had written. This one is all ours.

Danny Stevens

It may seem old fashioned to write a thank you note, but the warm emotions you'll create are never out of style.

Judy Taylor

We don't really know what to expect, but we tend to think it's going to be as strong as our first show. Buyers wrote orders. They got into a feeding frenzy.

Dave Palmer

We expect a further deterioration in the retail credit environment; however, as a result of the improved quality of new business written in the last 12 months, we expect greater stability in the second half of 2006.

Helen Weir

I thought that was a real nice gesture. I'm going to write him a nice letter.

Vern Nelson

The Rolling Stones are far and away the most successful touring entity in the history of mankind. The Stones have written and rewritten the book on touring. The things they have brought have been pioneering, from being the first to use credit cards at merc stands to a one-promoter global tour. They are the kings.

Ray Waddell

I literally get three or four e-mails, phone calls, letters every day from people who want to write for the series.

David Barker

The courage of exploring myself was nothing compared to the courage of actually doing the EMT course, ... As a writer, the concept of self-revelation is not new. The problem was getting through the depression and anxiety and doing something unheard of for me: becoming an EMT. Writing about self-revelation is gravy.

Michael Stern

I'm struggling at the end to get out of the valley of hectoring youth, journalistic middle age, imposture, moneymaking, public relations, bad writing, mental confusion.

Stephen Spender

Maybe (writing a book like this) starts with a little bit of bitterness. The genesis was knowing housewives whose lives consist of buying $500 chairs for their kitchen. And it's also maybe a little jealousy. You've got to train yourself to find the humor in everything.

Debra Galant

The law is very specific in the way it's written. Our bottom line is that we're eager to get this information on the Web, and we will work closely with the NASDR and the Congress to allow the use of this technology. The sooner the better.

Chris Ullman

I can't talk because of the situation and how it changed the play. I'm just asking you guys to write it how you saw it. I can't say anything without being real negative and I'm not going to do that. It's over.

Pete Trgovich

For some reason I just started writing and out came this play. It's a series of monologs. All of the characters are from different walks of life. I have everything from an 18-year-old kid to a fourth-grade girl. There's not really a plot. It's about their reactions to how it (9/11) affected them.

Daniel Pound

Show me a hero and I will write you a tragedy.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Let me just say that if whatever said radio station tries to blacklist us for my comments about their balloons, I would like them to know I want a written apology tomorrow for interrupting my song.

Jack White

I wrote a letter to them saying, 'No, I don't want to collaborate,' and they kept coming back. Why would I want to be involved in moments of my childhood which I never want to return to? I want nothing to do with this film. I will never, never in a million years go to see it.

Ted Hughes

Our kids played with 150 percent of their heart. They never gave up and their want to win was there. We made it (to state) this year for the first time, and hopefully we'll be back next year and we can write our name on the trophy.

Hugh Roberts

We don't know if the order exists in written form. It is his order that started the ball rolling on this illegal detention.

Andrew Patel

And we hope that the new assembly will invite those parties that have not taken part in the election in joining us in writing the constitution. This will pave the way for a far more inclusive election... at the end of this year.

Adnan Pachachi

My dad was fascinated with sundials. He photographed hundreds of them and wrote a book about them. He designed a Nye family dial that kept time at our house in Washington, DC.

Bill Nye

As the law is written there are really no strong consequences if a perpetrator does not come forward and is later discovered to not have told the whole truth. It would be good to put in place adequate mechanisms to fully honor the right to truth. For that you need full confessions.

Michael Fruhling

Sometimes I read one of my stories, maybe one that I wrote thirty years ago, and I think, Now I'd go and do it differently. Or I think I would just alter a phrase that seems to me a little too polished or too sharp or too smart-aleck or something. Or too ironic. Irony was so big then that it got under your skin and you sort of didn't recognize it.

Alice Munro

A well-written life is almost as rare as a well-spent one.

Thomas Carlyle

It's anybody's guess. But what is written on the horizon is we've got a whopper of a budget problem.

Patrick Quinn

People say this is a show they haven't seen or they haven't seen in years. It was written in the late '50s in a traditional musical form. It's really a wonderful work.

Kathy Brombacher

We work with the school police a lot when it comes to graffiti, because most of the graffiti artists are juveniles. They keep an eye in the schools, look at the writing on the notebooks ... and they get a feel for who might be doing these.

Roxanne Walker

Books aren't written - they're rewritten. Including your own. It is one of the hardest things to accept, especially after the seventh rewrite hasn't quite done it.

Michael Crichton

Some of the recipes came from my family, or I just figured it out from how my family made things. But then I had to get the recipes together. I had to learn to use a computer and I got together recipes from all over. I'd have written them on matchbooks or while I was at the hairdresser's.

Martha Greenlaw

It's not too serious. Windows XP has over 45 million lines of code and it would be an enormous job to rewrite from scratch. It's a case of better the devil you know.

Greg Day

You can't write it off because that's what keeps me motivated. But I haven't played for four months and even if I do get cleared [to play] it would be pretty tough.

Dan Cloutier

He was an action kid, not a book kid, ... It was 'Let me get my hands on it, let me get out in the woods, but don't make me sit down and write a paper.' And when he started something, he really jumped into it. There were no half measures with Kevin.

Tom Meeks

If you are a writer you locate yourself behind a wall of silence and no matter what you are doing, driving a car or walking or doing housework you can still be writing, because you have that space.

Joyce Carol Oates

I'm writing a book. I've got the page numbers done.

Stephen Wright

I had the idea of using Glen Benton on the song before even writing anything. However, instead of writing a typical death metal song, I wanted to do something a little more structured, even hooky, while still maintaining death metal and blast beat aspects.

Joey Jordison

. . . people will sometimes say, "Why don't you write more politics?" And I have to explain to them that writing the lives of women is politics.

Grace Paley

The potential for abuse is written into the statute: the very people who might have information regarding investigative abuses and overreaching are preemptively prevented from sharing that information with the public and with the legislators who empower the executive branch with the tools used to investigate matters of national security.

Janet Hall

Charity's excited to meet a real, live, fire-breathing dragon. But she discovers she's not evil ? she's kind and likes to write poetry, just like her ? so they have a bond.

Alice Besterman

We are in an economy where we change jobs numerous times. Learning to learn is the skill that is critical. Be able to read, write and learn new things.

Robert Weissbourd

I take the view, and always have, that if you cannot say what you are going to say in twenty minutes you ought to go away and write a book about it.

Lord Brabazon

I just wanted to write books I wanted to write, ... There's no writer who has not had enough ego to hope something he or she wrote would be seized on by the public -- that something they write will last beyond them. But hoping and expecting are two different things. Expecting would be beyond ego.

Robert Jordan

Every HMO must write every individual.

Wayne Cotter

Never be entirely idle; but either be reading, or writing, or praying or meditating or endeavoring something for the public good.

Thomas a Kempis

If an army of monkeys were strumming on typewriters, they might write all the books in the British Museum.

Sir Arthur Eddington

I busted out of the place in a hurry and went to a saloon and drank beer and said that for the rest of my life I'd never take a job in a place where you couldn't throw cigarette butts on the floor. I was hooked on this writing for newspapers and magazines.

Jimmy Breslin

A male was observed by his fellow passengers as having a journal and hand written on the journal were the words 'suicide bomber.

Larae Quy

I would love to write with Wes as long as he'll have me.

Noah Baumbach

We have 10 of these classrooms complete as of now, and we plan on having 10 more finished before the fall semester begins. These rooms will be able to record the audio of the lectures as well as the writings professors may make on the tablet computer so that they could be distributed to the students.

Allen Taylor

The Costa Rica team will play very strong, very fast in the beginning of the game, try to get an early goal and write their ticket to Germany.

Bruce Arena

There is no pit orchestra. The musicians are essentially characters in the show. That was a big idea from Des. And it set a structure within which we were able to write the show.

Rick Elice

Usually the laws are relatively weak and have been written by lobbyists for the industry.

Rick Hind

There are so many younger acts. It's hard to distinguish the differences between them all. I don't want people to hear the record and go, 'Can you believe she's only 18?' I want them to say, 'Wow, this is a well-written song with good chord changes.' It's better if you hear the record and love it, than find out I'm 18.

Michelle Branch

Writing has nothing to do with communication between person and person, only with communication between different parts of a person's mind.

Rebecca West

At this point, James put down his notebook. He stood frozen on the bridge for several minutes as it dawned on him that his house was drowning, that there would be no coming home when this was over. Then he shook himself back into reporter mode, grabbed his pad and continued writing.

Jim Amoss

When we started writing [the new album], we were a four-piece.

Jeff Davis

December's usual inventory write-offs and increased marketing costs led the operating profit margin to fall to 8 pct from 11 pct a quarter earlier.

Chu Woo Sik

Write down all the things you want to attain and why. Then work out what are the costs and the benefits. Then do an action plan.

Gladeana Mcmahon

He wrote 16 books and most of them are not about flying and the military.

Scott Fraser

DIARY, n. A daily record of that part of one's life, which he can relate to himself without blushing. Hearst kept a diary wherein were writ All that he had of wisdom and of wit. So the Recording Angel, when Hearst died, Erased all entries of his own and cried: 'I'll judge you by your diary.' Said Hearst: 'Thank you; 'twill show you I am Saint the First' - Strai.

Ambrose Bierce

They're fixing to write a contract.

Jamie Mauthe

Writing it was kind of hard, ... I wrote a lot of it on the road, and I don't really enjoy writing on the road. There's so much going on, doing interviews and going to radio stations and getting ready for shows. You're sick all the time, and there's no space on the bus. I'd rather write at home in Nashville.

Dierks Bentley

Every time a sentence about great American writers is written, it will include August's name, ... He defined the Yale Rep's relationship to groundbreaking American theater.

James Bundy

This spacecraft is going to rewrite the science textbooks on Mars.

James Graf

It was all coming out from somewhere, and I just had the job of writing it down. I was, however, determined that the central characters would have a happy ending, but it was quite difficult sometimes to get them out of trouble.

Naomi Mitchison

She really wanted to sue over this. Ninety-five percent of the time, we end up talking clients out of this, but she is tired of all the false stories that have been written about her in the past.

Martin Singer

I cook what I like. Things just pop into my head. When you've been cooking so long, you know what works. When I wrote the menu, I thought about what people like.

Kyle Davis

But I must say I am happiest when something hits and I've written it with Barry. After all these years, I am still amazed by his genius.

Cynthia Weil

The process of creating is related to the process of dreaming although when you are writing you're doing it and when you're dreaming, it's doing you.

Robert Stone

We have some concerns about the use of the vehicles as this legislation is written. We will be talking to the sponsor and expressing our concerns and may be working something out.

Jack Lewis

Good writing excites me, and makes life worth living.

Harold Pinter

There was a time when I had a radio and wrote it up for problems, and for three to four months it didn't work. If you have a problem on the bus and something goes wrong, (a radio is) your only connection to help.

Darrell Braden

What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure.

Samuel Johnson

I wrote the song in tribute ... at the time she was murdered.

Ricky Fante

Not that our shows weren't bad, but there were instances that were very subtle and contained really clever writing that is not on TV, especially in kids' TV, today, ... Not that our shows were genius, but they were fun to watch.

Sam Roberts

When one is grateful for something too good for common thanks, writing is less unsatisfactory than speech-one does not, at least, hear how inadequate the words are.

George Eliot

I'm incapable of writing without social commentary. I like to think that it's integrated and not really heavy handedly didactic.

John Shirley

I think the whole auto industry is moving towards build to order. I think this is a smart move by Microsoft, focusing on what it does best, writing software, and a smart move by Ford, moving it forward on how it sells cars.

Lise Buyer

I actually wrote it down when Jamie said that. I'm going to use it in my book someday ? if I ever write a book.

Steve Malchow

I couldn't have put anything else into this show. It's the best score I could do, the best words I could write… Everything I have is up there. And now I'm gonna take a long rest.

Joseph Brooks

I'm a writer. The more I act, the more resistance I have to it. If you accept work in a movie, you accept to be entrapped for a certain part of time, but you know you're getting out. I'm also earning enough to keep my horses, buying some time to write.

Sam Shepard

People will always be tempted to wipe their feet on anything with 'welcome' written on it.

Andy Partridge

Im not trying to prove a point, ... I just want to get it out of my system, and I think I have the opportunity with a filly like that. If I ever write the story of my life, I want a nice ending. I don't want to end that [I] rode in '95 and got beat the last time.

Angel Cordero, Jr.

[Silverstein] inspires me to do funny things as well, ... can write things for kids that are genuinely funny.

Louis Sachar

We're here to educate lawmakers on a poorly written bill that basically advocates for the fugitives and the person who house them.

Beth Smith

The thing to watch is if momentum starts to build, this could feed on itself, ... They may get a new financing partner. Other companies may jump on board. It could get pretty interesting. I am certainly not willing to write this thing off yet.

Mark Mandel

Poor Jesus, ... Christianity was founded so many years ago, and because it's all verbal, there were no copyrights, and his word was open to interpretation. We do not have that problem - Ron wrote everything down, so we're very fortunate that the religion has remained pure.

Susan Taylor

It seems very few people know about this kind of stuff, but the writing's been on the wall about this a long time.

John Lawrence

The kids have been working really hard in practice through it all and this was a good game over a quality opponent. Just like I wrote on the board in the locker room, it was about toughness. We were resilient tonight.

Tony Kays

Write 100 things that you love about your partner. It's another way of keeping yourself in check. It's hard to do.

Chris Pirillo

Say you write a song about a chandelier, and the chandelier gives off light. And the light is the color red and red reminds you of the color your not supposed to wear around a bull. So you name the song Cow."

Billy Corgan

You have to be at least 16 to get a license and you have to complete a written log of the dates and the times of your behind the wheel experience.

Kevin Malone

Flowers have spoken to me more than I can tell in written words. They are the hieroglyphics of angels, loved by all men for the beauty of the character, though few can decypher even fragments of their meaning.

Lydia M. Child

At that moment God said, 'Write the letter, and write it now.' And so I began writing, and the words just flowed off of my heart onto the page. I just began to write and write and write.

Penny Bragg

I believe it is important to speak to your readers in person... to enable people to have a whole picture of me; I have to both write and speak. I view my role as writer and also as oral communicator.

Buchi Emecheta

Writing is always personal in some way but not always in a direct way.

Suzanne Vega

[The late ABC anchor Peter Jennings] really took me under his wing, ... I was able to develop strengths I didnt know I had largely through Peter. [He] let me write the way I wanted to write, allowed me to develop a bit of a voice.
