Write

Famous quotes containing the word write:

“What you’re trying to do when you write is to crowd the reader out of his own space and occupy it with yours, in a good cause. You’re trying to take over his sensibility and deliver an experience that moves from mere information.”
—Robert Stone (b. 1937)

“Laid out for death, let thy last kindness be
With leaves and moss-work for to cover me:
And while the wood-nymphs my cold corpse inter,
Sing thou my dirge, sweet-warbling chorister!
For epitaph, in foliage, next write this:
Here, here the tomb of Robin Herrick is.”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

“Never write down your speeches beforehand; if you do, you may perhaps be a good declaimer, but will never be a debater.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
