Typewriters Quotes (page 3)

When you're all alone out there, on the end of the typewriter, with each new story a new appraisal by the world of whether you can still get it up or not, arrogance and self-esteem and deep breathing are all you have. It often looks like egomania. I assure you it's the bold coverup of the absolutely terrified. Harlan Ellison
Red Smith quote: "There's nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a..."
There's nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein. Red Smith
Allen Ginsberg quote: "The typewriter is holy the poem is holy the voice is holy the..."
The typewriter is holy the poem is holy the voice is holy the hearers are holy the ecstacy is holy! Allen Ginsberg
In the old days, writers used to sit in front of a typewriter and stare out of the window. Nowadays, because of the marvels of convergent technology, the thing you type on and the window you stare out of are now the same thing. Douglas Adams
Ernest Hemingway quote: "Writing is easy. You simply sit at a typewriter and bleed."
Writing is easy. You simply sit at a typewriter and bleed. Ernest Hemingway
There is only one place to write and that is alone at a typewriter. A writer who has to go into the streets is a writer who does not know the streets. Charles Bukowski
When my head is in the typewriter the last thing on my mind is some imaginary reader. I don’t have an audience; I have a set of standards. But when I think of my work out in the world, written and published, I like to imagine it’s being read by some stranger somewhere who doesn’t have anyone around him to talk to about books and writing—maybe a would-be writer, maybe a little lonely, who depends on a certain kind of writing to make him feel more comfortable in the world. Don DeLillo
He struck his temples with his fists and screamed: 'Haven't you ever seen a goddam DC converter? You can get them at Radio Shack for three bucks! Are you seriously trying to tell me you couldn't have made a simple DC converter when you can make your tractor fly and your typewriter run on telepathy? Are you? 'Nobody thought of it!' she screamed suddenly. Stephen King
Marshall McLuhan quote: "A typewriter is a means of transcribing thought, not..."
A typewriter is a means of transcribing thought, not expressing it. Marshall McLuhan
My two fingers on a typewriter have never connected with my brain. My hand on a pen does. A fountain pen, of course. Ball-point pens are only good for filling out forms on a plane. Graham Greene
I have been under considerable pressure to buy at least a laptop computer. I have always turned the suggestions down for the reason that I have never done creative work on a typewriter. There is to me a lack of empathy. Winston Graham
Gene Fowler quote: "Sometimes I think my writing sounds like I walked out of the..."
Sometimes I think my writing sounds like I walked out of the room and left the typewriter running. Gene Fowler
I don't want anything to do with anything mechanical between me and the paper, including a typewriter, and I don't even want a fountain pen between me and the paper. Shelby Foote
I always value my large kitchen because it was better to do everything there, you wash up, you do everything, rather than messing up another room and I pop my typewriter just next to it. So I still write now but I was doing more writing when the children were younger. Buchi Emecheta
Joan Didion quote: "I'm totally in control of this tiny, tiny world right there at..."
I'm totally in control of this tiny, tiny world right there at the typewriter. Joan Didion
