Great Writing Quotes (page 3)

There is poetry even in prose, in all the great prose which is not merely utilitarian or didactic: there exist poets who write in prose or at least in more or less apparent prose; millions of poets write verses which have no connection with poetry. Eugenio Montale
I would say a good leader brings results. A great leader writes a new story, it's different. Obviously a new story has to incorporate a lot of results. But a story is a chapter in the life of a company that people want to write and want to remember. Carlos Ghosn
I was never trying to write a hit. I was just trying to write good songs and get a message out, and it was my great good fortune to be popular. John Denver
We all kind of grew up together with Art Blakey because we all were young and he gave us a chance to write. We had to write something that was good and to sit up with a great guy like Art Blakey and watch him. Freddie Hubbard
In the history of literature there are many great enduring works which were not published in the lifetimes of the authors. If the authors had not achieved self-affirmation while writing, how could they have continued to write? Gao Xingjian
Well, I had this little notion - I started writing when I was eleven, writing poetry. I was passionately addicted to it; it was my great refuge through adolescence. Harry Mathews
The sublime moment seems to be only a product of allowing yourself to get through, to get to a lot of stuff in your life, write about a lot of stuff and not edit yourself.

Heather O'Reilly quote: "I keep a journal, and every day I write down one great play..."
I keep a journal, and every day I write down one great play that I had that day. I don't write down any negatives. Heather O'Reilly
The real danger of writing a great song when you're on something is that it might get you thinking that the only way to repeat that is by only writing when you're high. Barry Mann
I don't know much about creative writing programs. But they're not telling the truth if they don't teach, one, that writing is hard work, and, two, that you have to give up a great deal of life, your personal life, to be a writer. Doris Lessing
I usually write when I'm in a great place. When I'm depressed, I don't usually write. So I take all of when I'm depressed and throw it into when I'm feeling good. Weird, I guess. Del Shannon
The play is one of the very few pieces of great dramatic and comic writing that I have read in a long, long time. I was drawn to it because of the power of the writing, which gives me the actor a chance to explore many facets of myself. Linda Lavin
I have a great job writing for 'The Office,' but, really, all television writers do is dream of one day writing movies. I'll put it this way: At the Oscars the most famous person in the room is, like, Angelina Jolie. At the Emmys the huge exciting celebrity is Bethenny Frankel. You get what I mean. Mindy Kaling
Bryan Adams quote: "There's a saying, 'It's easy to write songs, but very..."
There's a saying, 'It's easy to write songs, but very difficult to write great songs.' I'm going through that right now. Bryan Adams
