Written poetry is different. Best thing is to see it in performance first, then read it. Performance is more provocative.
Adrian Mitchell
Image
Written with grace and thoroughly researched, One People, One Blood is an ethnography with a lot of heart that also sheds new light on a fascinating and fraught chapter in recent Jewish history.
Ruth Behar
Image
Written on her tombstone: I told you I was sick.
Erma Bombeck
Image
Written words still have the amazing power to bring out the best and worst of human nature
Nadine Gordimer
Image
Written language must be considered as a particular psychic reality. The book is permanent it is an object in your field of vision. It speaks to you with a monotonous authority which even its author would not have. You are fairly obliged to read what is written.
Gaston Bachelard
Image
Written on the mirror, revealed by the steam, were the words, I love you, Jane.
J.R. Ward
Image
Written communication is a tremendous help for me, and so when electronic mail was invented in '71, I got very excited about it, thinking well, gee, the deaf community could really use this, or the hard of hearing community as well.
Vinton Cerf
Image
Written forms obscure our view of language. They are not so much a garment as a disguise.
Ferdinand de Saussure
Image
Written kisses don't reach their destination, rather they are drunk on the way by the ghosts.
Franz Kafka
Image
Written history may, in the course of its narrative, use some of the laws established by the various sciences, but its own task remains that of relating the essential sequence of historical action and, qua history, to tell what happened, not why.
Lloyd deMause
Image
Written laws are formulas in which we endeavor to express as concisely as possible that which, under such or such determined circumstances, natural justice demands.
Victor Cousin
Image
Written truth is four-dimensional. If we consult it at the wrong time, or read it at the wrong place, it is as empty and shapeless as a dress on a hook.
Robert Grudin
Image
It's bad writing, however naturalistic it's written, that's where you have to do your best acting.
Adam Brody
Image
Giulia Melucci has written a wonderfully funny and moving book. It's like Eat, Pray, Love, with recipes.
A. J. Jacobs
Image
There are fairy stories to be written for adults. Stories that are still in a green state.
Andre Breton
Image
I've written poems about gifts. Life is inspirational sometimes it comes from the most unlikely places.
Ama Ata Aidoo
Image
Another thing that's quite different in writing a book as a practicing newspaperman is that if you look at what you've written the next morning and you think you didn't get it quite right, you can fix it.
Adam Clymer
Image
Biographies are no longer written to explain or explore the greatness of the great. They redress balances, explore secret weaknesses, demolish legends.
A. S. Byatt
Image
Only those things are beautiful which are inspired by madness and written by reason.
Andre Gide
Image
I think when you're a bigger star you get many good scripts sent to you, and you have to choose which one you're going to gravitate toward, but I just try to gravitate toward the best-written one that's been thrown my way after a lot of girls have passed on it.
Amanda Peet
Image
Someone once said that the joy is not in writing but in having written. I can't say I find that to be true, though I understand the sentiment.
Adam Gopnik
Image
There are things that happen and leave no discernible trace, are not spoken or written of, though it would be very wrong to say that subsequent events go on indifferently, all the same, as though such things had never been.
A. S. Byatt
Image
It is with noble sentiments that bad literature gets written.
Andre Gide
Image
I have written some songs, but I would really call what I’ve done poetry at the end of the day, because I’ll sit with my guitar for hours and hours on end for, like, a week and then I won’t touch it for a month. I also just have no confidence. And you know what? I don’t have time, because I’d rather be doing other things, like knitting.
Amanda Seyfried
