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)

    A book that furnishes no quotations is, me judice, no book—it is a plaything.
    Thomas Love Peacock (1785–1866)
