But most men regard their life as a poem that women threaten. They may not have two spondees to rub together but they still want to pen their saga untrammelled by life-threatening activities like trailing round Sainsbury's, emptying the dishwasher or going to the nativity play.
Alan Bennett
Image
On peut dire que son esprit brille aux dépens de sa mémoire (One may say that his wit shines by the help of his memory).
Alain-Rene Lesage
Image
The mere physical man is like the ant crawling on the paper, who observes black lettering and attributes its production to the pen and nothing more.
Al-Ghazali
Image
Sadly, there are more wild horses in holding pens than in the wild.
Willie Nelson
Image
To sit at one's table on a sunny morning, with four clear hours of uninterruptible security, plenty of nice white paper, and a Squeezer pen - that is true happiness.
Winston Churchill
Image
The pen is the language of the soul as the concepts that in it are generated, such will be its writings.
Miguel de Cervantes
Image
Thoughtcrime is death. Thoughtcrime does not entail death. Thoughtcrime IS death. I have committed even before setting pen to paper the essential crime that contains all others unto itself.
Winston Smith
Image
When I say artist I mean the man who is building things - creating molding the earth - whether it be the plains of the west - or the iron ore of Penn. It's all a big game of construction - some with a brush - some with a shovel - some choose a pen.
Jackson Pollock

'I haven't used the veto pen very often since I've been in office,' Obama told NPR. 'Now, I suspect there are going to be some times where I've got to pull that pen out. And I'm going to defend gains that we've made in healthcare I'm going to defend gains that we've made on the environment and clean air and clean water.'
Byron York

I tap danced for ten years before I began to understand people don't make musicals anymore. All I wanted to do was be at MGM working for Arthur Freed or Gene Kelly or Vincent Minelli. Historical and geographical constraints made this impossible. Slowly but surely the pen became mightier than the double pick-up time step with shuffle.
Zadie Smith
Image
My bursting heart must find vent at my pen.
Abigail Adams
Image
If I haven't anything to write, I am just as anxious to 'take my pen in hand' as though I had a message to deliver, a cause to plead, or a problem to unfold. Nothing but writing rests me only then do I seem completely myself!
Kate Douglas Wiggin
Image
Do not consider it proof just because it is written in books, for a liar who will deceive with his tongue will not hesitate to do the same with his pen.
Maimonides
Image
I am a creature of my pen. My pen is the best of me.
A. S. Byatt
Image
Writing is just having a sheet of paper, a pen and not a shadow of an idea of what you are going to say.
Francoise Sagan
Image
I think I write honestly about what goes on in a guy’s mind, and girls are interested in that. As a sex, we’re not the best communicators when it comes to talking to the women in our lives. I know I’m not – but I’m much better when I have a pen and paper in my hand.
Gary Lightbody
Image
A pen is certainly an excellent instrument to fix a man's attention and to inflame his ambition.
John Adams
Image
Steve Bannon, the White House chief strategist, appears to imagine an alliance between Trump, Le Pen, Geert Wilders and Nigel Farage. Call it the populist international, a fraternal association of the nationalist right, binding people who want borders, across borders.
Anne Applebaum
Image
Now stand you on the top of happy hours, And many maiden gardens yet unset, With virtuous wish would bear you living flowers, Much liker than your painted counterfeit: So should the lines of life that life repair Which this, Time's pencil, or my pupil pen Neither in inward worth nor outward fair Can make you live your self in eyes of men.
William Shakespeare
Image
I believe the gun has no power because a gun can only kill, but a pen can give life.
Malala Yousafzai

I don't consider myself to be a painter. I think of myself as someone who has used the medium of painting in an attempt to extend - give an extra dimension to - the medium of words. It happens very often my writing with a pen is interrupted with my writing with a brush - but I think of both as writing.
Kenneth Patchen
Image
Remember always that the composer's pen is still mightier than the bow of the violinist in you lie all the possibilities of the creation of beauty.
John Philip Sousa
Image
A diary is an assassin's cloak which we wear when we stab a comrade in the back with a pen.
William Soutar
Image
My pen is alight and my body aflame. Until both burn down to ash, my love and my hate will remain here in the world.
