Written Quotes (page 23)

A written word is the choicest of relics. It is something at once intimate with us and more universal than any other work of art. It is the work of art nearest to life itself. Henry David Thoreau
Sometimes words need music too. Sometimes the descriptions are not enough. Books should be written with soundtracks, like films. Terry Prachett
C. S. Lewis quote: "Do not cite the Deep Magic to me, Witch. I was there when it..."
Do not cite the Deep Magic to me, Witch. I was there when it was written. C. S. Lewis
Alister McGrath has now written two books with my name in the title. The poet W. B. Yeats, when asked to say something about bad poets who made a living by parasitizing him, wrote the splendid line, 'was there ever dog that praised his fleas? Richard Dawkins
There were so many Pittsburgh poets in my hallway that if, at that instant, a meteorite had come smashing through my roof, there would never have been another stanza written about rusting fathers and impotent steelworkers and the Bessemer convertor of love. Michael Chabon
Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer. Rainer Maria Rilke
This letter is written on the skin of one of the water sprites who drowned your parents.''Ick!' I cried, and dropped the letter on the kitchen table. Charlaine Harris
If the only significant history of human thought were to be written, it would have to be the history of its successive regrets and its impotences. Albert Camus
Every man engaged in war tells himself he can alter what has been written, that it is he, not God, who is the maker of destiny, free to change what is meant to be. Alice Hoffman
Barbara Kingsolver quote: "I learned to write by reading the kind of books I wished I'd..."
I learned to write by reading the kind of books I wished I'd written. Barbara Kingsolver
Other than along certain emotional tangents there was little in the book that felt as if it had actually been lived. It was a fiction produced by someone who knew only fictions, The Tempest as written by isolate Miranda, raised on the romances in her father's library. Michael Chabon
Jane Austen quote: "[I]f a book is well written, I always find it too short."
[I]f a book is well written, I always find it too short. Jane Austen
So Dad has joined the others up there. I feel that they do watch and guide, and I also feel that they join me in the hope that this story of our people can help alleviate the legacies of the fact that preponderantly the histories have been written by the winners. Alex Haley
If a writer knows what he or she is doing, I'll go along for the ride. If he or she doesn't... well, I'm in my fifties now, and there are a lot of books out there. I don't have time to waste with the poorly written ones. Stephen King
‘Paranoid’ went straight to number four in the British singles chart and got us on Top of the Pops – alongside Cliff Richard, of all people. The only problem was the album cover, which had been done before the name change and now didn’t make any sense at all. What did four pink blokes holding shields and waving swords have to do with paranoia? They were pink because that was supposed to be the colour of the war pigs. But without ‘War Pigs’ written on the front, they just looked like gay... Ozzy Osbourne
