Write

Famous quotes containing the word write:

“I would love to be able to write a tragedy in my imagination—it would turn into a masterpiece.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)

“And would you be a poet
Before you’ve been to school?
Ah, well! I hardly thought you
So absolute a fool.
First learn to be spasmodic—
A very simple rule.
For first you write a sentence,
And then you chop it small;
Then mix the bits, and sort them out
Just as they chance to fall:
The order of the phrases makes
No difference at all.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

“To write one song, I said,
As sad as the sad wind
That walks around my bed ...”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
