Quotes by Writing Black is the most slimming of all Colors. It is the most flattering. You can wear black at any Time. You can wear it at any age. You can wear it for almost any occasion. I could write a book about black. Christian Dior colorwritingbook In a good play, everyone is in the right. Christian Friedrich Hebbel fiction-writingplaywriting When I'm writing songs, I write visually. When I'm writing the words down and I listen to the melody and the lyrics, I start seeing the video form. And if I can get through a song and from the beginning to the end have the whole video in my mind, I think that's a great song. Christian Kane writingsongthinking I don't know if I could write songs if it wasn't for the female race, to be honest with you. Christian Kane racewritingsong My literary criticism has become less specifically academic. I was really writing literary history in The New Poetic, but my general practice of writing literary criticism is pretty much what it always has been. And there has always been a strong connection between being a writer - I feel as though I know what it feels like inside and I can say I've experienced similar problems and solutions from the inside. And I think that's a great advantage as a critic, because you know what the writer is feeling. Christian Karlson Stead strongwritingthinking When I set out to write a screenplay, I have in my mind a beginning and an end but that end part continually changes as I start to write the middle. That way by the time the screenplay is finished I have taken myself and my audience from a familiar beginning point through the story to an unfamiliar ending point. Christian Keiber takenmindwriting I always wanted to be an independent maverick, writing plays and putting them on myself. Christian McKay independentplaywriting Genius makes its observations in short-hand; talent writes them out at length. Christian Nestell Bovee geniuswritinghands It is safer to quote what is written than what is spoken. What a man writes it is fair to presume he believes as a matter of general conviction, but it is not so with what he utters in the freedom of conversation. In that he may only express the feeling of the moment, and not his settled judgment, or matured opinion. Christian Nestell Bovee writingmenbelieve If it is a distinction to have written a good book, it is also a disgrace to have written a bad one. Christian Nestell Bovee distinctionwritingbook In general, inquiry ceases when we adopt a theory. After that, we overlook whatever makes against it, and see and think, and talk and write, only in its favor. Indeed, when we have a snug, comfortable theory, to which we are much attached, they appear to us as a very mean set of facts that will not square with it. Christian Nestell Bovee writingmeanthinking There is probably no hell for authors in the next world - they suffer so much from critics and publishers in this. Christian Nestell Bovee rejectionsufferingwriting A book should be luminous not voluminous. Christian Nestell Bovee shouldwritingbook All good writing leaves something unexpressed. Christian Nestell Bovee good-writingwriting I have little weird things that aren't really specific but are just kind of odd. I write my 5's backwards, and I don't know if anyone would even care, at all. Christian Serratos carewritinglittles I listen to the Mars Volta and Fiona Apple every day. I feel if you do write music, you write what you listen to, and you couldn't possibly write in another genre. So those are the two that I usually use. Christian Serratos appleswritingtwo It is easy enough to write and talk about God while remaining comfortable within the contemporary intellectual climate. Even people who would call themselves unbelievers often use the word gesturally, as a ready-made synonym for mystery. But if nature abhors a vacuum, Christ abhors a vagueness. If God is love, Christ is love for this one person, this one place, this one time-bound and time-ravaged self. Christian Wiman selfwritingpeople I've never been able to write poetry without having vast tracts of dead time. Poetry requires a certain kind of disciplined indolence that the world, including many prose writers, doesn't recognize as discipline. It is, though. It's the discipline to endure hours that you refuse to fill with anything but the possibility of poetry, though you may in fact not be able to write a word of it just then, and though it may be playing practical havoc with your life. It's the discipline of preparedness. Christian Wiman disciplinewritingworld One of the ways in which I feel close to God is writing poetry. Christian Wiman writingfeelsway I really do enjoy getting out to meet my readers. Writing is such a solitary business, it's gratifying to thank folks in person and really connect as human beings and not just words on a screen.
