Page Quotes (page 5)

What we need is an electronic encyclopedia of life, with one page for each species. On each page is given everything known about that species. E. O. Wilson
Lots of people can write a good first page but to sustain it, that's my litmus test. If I flip to the middle of the book and there's a piece of dialogue that's just outstanding, or a description, then I'll flip back to the first page and start it. Carl Hiaasen
Robert B. Parker quote: "I write five pages a day. If you would read five pages a day,..."
I write five pages a day. If you would read five pages a day, we'd stay right even. Robert B. Parker
I'll write maybe one long paragraph describing the events, then a page or two breaking the events into chapters, and then reams of pages delving into my characters. After that, I'm ready to begin. Anne Tyler
Calvin Trillin quote: "We all know funny people who can't get it down on the page -..."
We all know funny people who can't get it down on the page - even funny writers who can't get it down on the page. Calvin Trillin
I always turn to the sports pages first, which records people's accomplishments. The front page has nothing but man's failures. Earl Warren
In fact I have a full page warning, right in the front of the book, that no one under the age of eighteen should read this book and no one should even turn the pages if they are sexually conservative or erotically deprived. Burt Ward
Barbara Walters quote: "The sports page records people's accomplishments, the front..."
The sports page records people's accomplishments, the front page usually records nothing, but man's failures. Barbara Walters
I have a lady, she's a great lady. I love her a lot, she loves me. We're on the same page. Whenever that day happens when we're not on the same page we'll move forward with it. We're interested in having our lives be our lives right now and not a third person's vis-a-vis marriage and whatever that means. Jon Hamm
I wrote a lot of stuff quickly: pages and pages of notes that seemed pretty incoherent at first. Most of it was taken from the radio because -suddenly being a parent- I'd be confronted by the radio giving a news report every hour of the day. Thom Yorke
I outline fairly extensively because I'm usually dealing with real events. I don't need to give myself as much information as I used to, but I still like to have two pages of outline for every projected 100 pages of manuscript. Chelsea Quinn Yarbro
Nobody reads a mystery to get to the middle. They read it to get to the end. If it's a letdown, they won't buy anymore. The first page sells that book. The last page sells your next book. Mickey Spillane
In comparison, Google is brilliant because it uses an algorithm that ranks Web pages by the number of links to them, with those links themselves valued by the number of links to their page of origin. Michael Shermer
Nicholas Lea quote: "We went to the British Museum, and I was looking up my family..."
We went to the British Museum, and I was looking up my family in the books - pages and pages on it. Nicholas Lea
If you get a book which is 600 pages, you have to reduce it to a script of 100 pages. In two hours of film, you cannot possibly include all the characters. Dino De Laurentiis
