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:
“And open field, through which the pathway wound,
And homeward led my steps. Magnificent
The morning rose, in memorable pomp,
Glorious as e’er I had beheld—in front,
The sea lay laughing at a distance; near,
The solid mountains shone, bright as the clouds,
Grain-tinctured, drenched in empyrean light;”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“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)
