Write

Famous quotes containing the word write:

“If ever I should condescend to prose,
I’ll write poetical commandments, which
Shall supersede beyond all doubt all those
That went before; in these I shall enrich
My text with many things that no one knows,
And carry precept to the highest pitch:
I’ll call the work ‘Longinus o’er a Bottle,
Or, Every Poet his own Aristotle.’”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

“It is impossible to talk or to write without apparently throwing oneself helplessly open.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“There is perhaps no more obvious vanity than to write of it so vainly.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
