Edward Abbey Quotes

The love of wilderness is more than a hunger for what is always beyong reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth, the earth which bore us and sustains us, the only paradise we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need, if only we had the eyes to see.

Edward Abbey

William Strunk, Jr. quote: "Omit needless words."
Omit needless words. William Strunk, Jr.

I'm so blessed to have as many jobs that I have, but I do agree that there needs to be some downtime. Tori Spelling
I don't mind nothing happening in a book, but nothing happening in a phony way--characters saying things people never say, doing jobs that don't fit, the whole works--is simply asking too much of a reader. Something happening in a phony way must beat nothing happening in a phony way every time, right? I mean, you could prove that, mathematically, in an equation, and you can't often apply science to literature. Nick Hornby

By 17, I was submitting to publications and collecting my first rejection slips. Laurell K. Hamilton
The novel is a formidable mass, and it is so amorphous - no mountain in it to climb, no Parnassus or Helicon, not even a Pisgah. It is most distinctly one of the moister areas of literature - irrigated by a hundred rills and occasionally degenerating into a swamp. I do not wonder that the poets despise it, though they sometimes find themselves in it by accident. And I am not surprised at the annoyance of the historians when by accident it finds itself among them. E. M. Forster
I cannot tell you what it means when children recognize. This is about the third generation for me. And when kids that small recognize me, it really pleases me, very gratifying. Dick Van Dyke
If you think and feel what you're supposed to think and feel, hard enough, it'll come out through your eyes - and the camera will see it. Andy Griffith
