Famous quotes containing the word writing:

    It is like writing history with lightning and my only regret is that it is all so terribly true.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    As I am writing my thought, it sometimes escapes me; but this makes me remember my weakness, which I constantly forget. This is as instructive to me as my forgotten thought; for I strive only to know my nothingness.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    That of all the several ways of beginning a book which are now in practice throughout the known world, I am confident my own way of doing it is the best—I’m sure it is the most religious—for I begin with writing the first sentence—and trusting to Almighty God for the second.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
