Drafting Quotes (page 6)

At the time it seriously troubled me, but in drafting me as Marshall Plan Administrator, President Truman did as great a favor for me as one man can do for another. It opened my eyes to many things of which I was totally unaware and it was the beginning of my real education. Paul Hoffman
I revise constantly, as I go along and then again after I've finished a first draft. Few of my novels contain a single sentence that closely resembles the sentence I first set down. I just find that I have to keep zapping and zapping the English language until it starts to behave in some way that vaguely matches my intentions. Michael Cunningham
I was a very interested arts student, I was always into that part of school and when I got into high school I went into architectural drafting. It gave me an understanding of how to build things and it's really helped me put things in perspective. With my music and my movies, to me it's all art. Ice Cube
I have never written anything in one draft, not even a grocery list, although I have heard from friends that this is actually possible. Connie Willis
The greatest pleasure when I started making money was not buying cars or yachts but finding myself able to have as many freshly typed drafts as possible. Gore Vidal
We have an incredible national forest service, and we have an incredible child outreach program that the president has put together. I don't see anything wrong with national service for a minimum of two years. If we were to require that, we wouldn't need a draft. Montel Williams
I'm against the draft. I believe we should have a professional military; it might be smaller, but it would be more effective. Jesse Ventura
This is not a screenplay. I don't do twenty drafts. I'm not going to show this to you until it's published or accepted for publication. You can make whatever suggestions you want, but I probably will ignore them entirely. Robert B. Parker
Bill Vaughan quote: "Maybe the answer to Selective Service is to start everyone off..."
Maybe the answer to Selective Service is to start everyone off in the army and draft them for civilian life as needed. Bill Vaughan
If they make the deadline because the Shiites and Kurds essentially rammed a draft through over Sunni Arab objections, there will be hell to pay. Wayne White
We may need to change the way we think. As in Israel, I think there should be a mandatory draft, where you go away for the service of your country for three years. Steve Tyler
Not until the final draft do I force myself to remember that I'm going to have to think about how it will affect other people. Anne Tyler
It is crystal clear to me that if Arabs put down a draft resolution blaming Israel for the recent earthquake in Iran it would probably have a majority, the U.S. would veto it and Britain and France would abstain. Amos Oz
I was a professional baseball player from the time I was drafted out of high school in 1981 until the time I retired in 2003. David Cone
The drafts which true genius draws upon posterity, although they may not always be honored so soon as they are due, are sure to be paid with compound interest in the end. Charles Caleb Colton
