Memorable Quotations
Fowler authored many witticisms both spoken and written. Two regarding the art of writing might suffice:
- "Writing is easy. All you do is stare at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead."
- "The best way to become a successful writer is to read good writing, remember it, and then forget where you remember it from."

Famous quotes containing the words memorable and/or quotations:
“One piece of good sense would be more memorable than a monument as high as the moon.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Reading any collection of a man’s quotations is like eating the ingredients that go into a stew instead of cooking them together in the pot. You eat all the carrots, then all the potatoes, then the meat. You won’t go away hungry, but it’s not quite satisfying. Only a biography, or autobiography, gives you the hot meal.”
—Christopher Buckley, U.S. author. A review of three books of quotations from Newt Gingrich. “Newtie’s Greatest Hits,” The New York Times Book Review (March 12, 1995)
