If it can be written, or thought, it can be filmed.Stanley Kubrick
I drink to make other people more interesting.Ernest Hemingway
I don’t think screenplay writing is the same as writing — I mean, I think it’s blueprinting.Robert Altman
I deal with writer’s block by lowering my expectations. I think the trouble starts when you sit down to write and imagine that you will achieve something magical and magnificent — and when you don’t, panic sets in. The solution is never to sit down and imagine that you will achieve something magical and magnificent. I write a little bit, almost every day, and if it results in two or three or (on a good day) four good paragraphs, I consider myself a lucky man. Never try to be the hare. All hail the tortoise.Malcolm Gladwell
I could be just a writer very easily. I am not a writer. I am a screenwriter, which is half a filmmaker. … But it is not an art form, because screenplays are not works of art. They are invitations to others to collaborate on a work of art.Paul Schrader
I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.Anne Frank
I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn.Anne Frank
He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf Stream and he had gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish.Ernest Hemingway
The Old Man and the Sea (1952)
Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college.Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
A Man Without a Country
Genius gives birth, talent delivers. What Rembrandt or Van Gogh saw in the night can never be seen again. Born writers of the future are amazed already at what they’re seeing now, what we’ll all see in time for the first time, and then see imitated many times by made writers.Jack Kerouac
