The conqueror writes history, they came, they conquered and they write. You don't expect the people who came to invade us to tell the truth about us.
Remember this always: The living of your own life writes the book of your most sacred truth, and offers evidence of it.
Decline of the letter, the rise of the notebook! One doesn't write to others any more; one writes to oneself.
One writes in order to feel.
I've always considered myself a filmmaker who writes stuff for himself to do.
I want to be a writer, not an engineer who writes books.
I don't support or unsupport Assange. If the Democrats had the proper defensive devices on their internet, equipment, they wouldn't even allow the FBI. How about this - they get hacked, and the FBI goes to see them, and they won't let the FBI see their server. But do you understand, nobody ever writes it. Why wouldn't Podesta and Hillary Clinton allow the FBI to see the server? They brought in another company that I hear is Ukrainian-based.
A sports expert is the guy who writes the best alibis for being wrong
Anybody who writes a diary insists it must be read by someone else.
A nation writes its history in the image of its ideal.
Every great man nowadays has his disciples, and it is usually Judas who writes the biography.
Grace Kelly writes great songs, sings beautifully, is a world class saxophonist, and is going to be a big big star
For me, the day job comes first. That's why I call myself a diplomat who writes, not a writer who masquerades as a diplomat. If the day job demands it, I won't write at all. I write in what I call 'the crevices of my day job', and that comes only on weekends.
The issue Fodor writes about is central to the psychology of perception, cognition, and action. It is the central issue for anyone who would seriously study the neurobiology of behavior: Is the mind organized horizontally or vertically or both, and what are the consequences to psychology of proceeding on one assumption or the other? This has been little analyzed and written about. Jerry Fodor has repaired that omission and had done it brilliantly.
One writes out of one thing only-one's own experience.
Todd Glass has amazing energy on stage. Dave Attell is one of my favorites because he's a one liner comic who is always incredibly in the moment with the audience. As for newer people, I think Adrienne Iapalucci writes some great, dark jokes and Sean Patton has a hilarious voice on stage.
A man writes to throw off the poison which he has accumulated because of his false way of life. He is trying to recapture his innocence, yet all he succeeds in doing (by writing) is to inoculate the world with a virus of his disillusionment. No man would set a word down on paper if he had the courage to live out what he believed in.
Throughout my childhood, my parents dropped me off at a multitude of therapists' offices in hopes that I'd avoid growing up to be the kind of asshole who writes books about them. Also because it was sometimes easier than finding a nanny.
I don't even know how to define myself. I'm a person who writes. It's something I enjoy, and hopefully people enjoy it as well.
One cannot choose what he writes - one can only choose to face it.
