Finishing It Quotes (page 2)

I hate requests. They make me feel unhappy. It's like when I take a book out of the library. As soon as I start to read it, all I can think about is when I'll finish it. Haruki Murakami
Throughout my career, I have discovered and rediscovered a simpletruth. It is this: the ability to concentrate single-mindedly on yourmost important task, to do it well and to finish it completely, is thekey to great success, achievement, respect, status and happiness inlife. Brian Tracy
Langston Hughes quote: "the only way to get a thing done is to start to do it, then..."
...the only way to get a thing done is to start to do it, then keep on doing it, and finally you'll finish it,.... Langston Hughes
We are going to punish somebody for this attack, but just who or where will be blown to smithereens for it is hard to say. Maybe Afghanistan, maybe Pakistan or Iraq, or possibly all three at once. Who knows? Not even the Generals in what remains of the Pentagon or the New York papers calling for war seem to know who did it or where to look for them. This is going to be a very expensive war, and Victory is not guaranteed--for anyone, and certainly not for a baffled little creep like George W.... Hunter S. Thompson
Neil Young quote: "A job is never truly finished. It just reaches a stage where..."
A job is never truly finished. It just reaches a stage where it can be left on its own for a while. Neil Young
'Somebody That I Used to Know,' like a lot of the record, was a bit of a struggle to finish. It was written fairly quickly - I wrote it in November 2010 - but it took six months to find Kimbra and really realize she was the right vocalist to make the female part come to life. There were constant hurdles. Gotye
Once life is finished it acquires a sense; up to that point it has not got a sense; its sense is suspended and therefore ambiguous. Pier Paolo Pasolini
You know how it is with writing. You just write what you want to write. There's no way to predict what is good or bad. You just do what you think is funny, and either it works or you're finished. It's impossible to predict anything. Colin Quinn
Amelia Earhart quote: "In soloing - as in other activities - it is far easier to..."
In soloing - as in other activities - it is far easier to start something than it is to finish it. Amelia Earhart
I think I have the best house in the world. I thank God to have it. I thank God that I finished it. And I hope that I will live enough to take profit of it. Max Azria
The time to begin writing an article is when you have finished it to your satisfaction. By that time you begin to clearly and logically perceive what it is you really want to say. Mark Twain
The sad truth is, if you push hard enough, and if you’re so stubborn that you must have things your way, God will sometimes allow you to undertake a project without His blessing or at the wrong time. The problem with that, of course, is when you start something in your own strength and in your own timing, you’re going to have to finish it and maintain it in your own strength. Joel Osteen
I write easily, let's put it that way. And in a novel particularly, the characters take over. And they tell me what to say and they tell me what they're doing. And I'm a third of the way into a novel and then I just let the characters finish it for me. Andrew Greeley
Traditionally, people have been adapting novels and short stories forever. Now, they're doing it simultaneously, with an eye towards writing the movie before the novel has even come out or been finished. It's a function of this hyper-accelerated society we live in, where everyone is trying to short circuit the process. Howard Gordon
Alberto Giacometti quote: "That's the terrible thing: the more one works on a picture,..."
That's the terrible thing: the more one works on a picture, the more impossible it becomes to finish it. Alberto Giacometti
