words are the voice of the heart
A woman's whole life...in a single day
To look life in the face, always to look life in the face.
I wanted to write about it all. Everything that's happening in a moment. The way those flowers looked when you carried them in your arms -this towel, how it smells, how it feels-this thread- all our feelings, yours and mine. The history of who we once were. Everything that's in the world. Everything mixed up. Like it's all mixed up now. Michael Cunningham, David Hare, "The Hours"
It is necessary to write, if the days are not to slip emptily by. How else, indeed, to clap the net over the butterfly of the moment? For the moment passes, it is forgotten; the mood is gone; life itself is gone. That is where the writer scores over his fellows: he catches the changes of his mind on the hop. Vita Sackville-West
The paper was blank. Whether it had always been that way, or if years had erased whatever was written, he did not know. Jodi Picoult, "The Pact"
Writing is an exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go. E.L. Doctorow
Don't get it right, just get it written. James Thurber
I'm writing a book. I've got the page numbers done. Stephen Wright
You can't have everything. Where would you put it? Stephen Wright
I have an existential map; it has 'you are here' written all over. Stephen Wright
I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything. Stephen Wright
