“Many writers write because they’ve been there, seen that, did it and burnt their fingers”
― Bangambiki Habyarimana, Pearls Of Eternity

“A writer reports on the universe. When he presents his credentials, the gates of heaven and hell are equally opened to him. He can hear the devil’s defense and god’s accusations. The guards at the king’s heart let him in. The writer can be anything and any one he wants. When he writes he is a god, he creates.”
― Bangambiki Habyarimana, Pearls Of Eternity

“And speaking of this wonderful machine:
[840] I’m puzzled by the difference between
Two methods of composing: A, the kind Which goes on solely in the poet’s mind,
A testing of performing words, while he
Is soaping a third time one leg, and B,
The other kind, much more decorous, when
He’s in his study writing with a pen. In method B the hand supports the thought,
The abstract battle is concretely fought.
The pen stops in mid-air, then swoops to bar
[850] A canceled sunset or restore a star,
And thus it physically guides the phrase
Toward faint daylight through the inky maze.
But method A is agony! The brain
Is soon enclosed in a steel cap of pain.
A muse in overalls directs the drill Which grinds and which no effort of the will
Can interrupt, while the automaton
Is taking off what he has just put on Or walking briskly to the corner store [860] To buy the paper he has read before.”
― Vladimir Nabokov, Pale Fire

“One author said "I write because I want to live a footprint in the sands of history.â€� It's hard to live a footprint in the sands of history when giants are passing through the same sands unless you are one of the giants”

“I wish I was one of those people who clean as they go, who are models of organization and clarity, but I'm just not. If I find myself with a piece of paper in my hand, and I'm unsure where to put it, I lay it down on the nearest surface and hope it folds itself into a paper plane and flies wherever it's supposed to go.”
― Abbi Waxman, The Garden of Small Beginnings

“Reading on a computer screen gives you no sense of time or investment. The page always looks the same, and everything is always in the same exact spot. When reading the book, no matter how large or small it is, a tension builds, concurrent with your progress through its pages. I get a nervous excitement as I see the number of pages that remain to be read draining inexorably from the right to the left.”
― Ammon Shea, Reading the OED: One Man, One Year, 21,730 Pages

“Ko bi živela na vrhu mojega palca, bi se lahko
odtisnila na prazen list papirja.
Lahko bi sama sebi dokazovala istovetnost.

Vsa bi se v enem hipu dotaknila mojega telesa.”

“The proof is always on paper.”
― A.D. Aliwat, In Limbo

“Even at that time, my only friends were made of paper and ink. At school I had learned to read and write long before the other children. Where my school friends saw notches of ink on incomprehensible pages, I saw light, streets , and people. Words and the mystery of their hidden science fascinated me and I saw in them a key with which I could unlock a boundless world, a safe haven from that home, those streets and those troubled days in which even I could sense that only a limited fortune awaited me. My father didn’t like to see books in the house. There was something about them â€� apart from the letters he could not decipher â€� that offended him. He used to tell me as soon as I was ten he would send me off to work and that I’d better get rid of all my scatterbrained ideas because otherwise I’d end up being a loser, a nobody.”
― Carlos Ruiz Zafón

“Here is a paper crease,
folded severely by a determined hand.
It is the crossroad that I’ve been told
to keep an eye out for.
I can do this!

Stepping onto the crease,
I tense my body in anticipation of the worst.
I am rising higher now as the crease grows,
forming into a large, dotted green hill.”
― Susan L. Marshall, All the Hope We Carry

“The caress of each word becoming
one
with the page.
Twisting
beneath the touch of the pen,
forming
a trail of permanent kisses,
until they reach
me.”
― N'Zuri Za Austin, Fragments of a Reflection: Short Stories & Poetry

“He stared at the blank page, unmarked and white as a slate, but as he moved his face closer and tilted the book towards the light, he noticed that any particular spot of a blank page contains divots, like micrometer mountains, perhaps from the printing factory, or the fact that nothing exists without a fiber of substance waiting for you.”
― Karl Kristian Flores, The Goodbye Song

“The greatest teachers imbue fragments of their souls into their teachings.”

“You know your company is in financial trouble when you cannot get a paper clip without filling in a form to request it from your manager!”
― Steven Magee

“I hated the smell of these books- the decaying rot of the pages, the mocking whisper of the paper, the rough skin of the binding. I looked at the piece of paper, at all those words I didn't know.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses

“It was as if the base of the mountain had been hollowed out by some massive digging beast, leaving a pit descending into the dark heart of the world. Around that gaping hole, carved into the mountain itself, spiralled level after level of shelves and books and reading areas, leading into the inky black. From what I could see of the various levels as I drifted toward the carved stone railing overlooking the drop, the stacks shot far into the mountain itself, like the spokes of a mighty wheel.

And through it all, fluttering like moth's wings, the rustle of paper on parchment.

Silent, and yet alive. Awake and humming and restless, some many-limbed beast at constant work. I peered upward, finding more levels rising toward the House above. And lurking far below... Darkness.”
― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Wings and Ruin

“The time and energy that are wasted on voting are much more precious than any inkblot on a sheet of paper will ever be.”

“Poets must first ponder themselves and learn to see the beauty within them to allow the beauty to spill out of them in ink on paper.”
― Jeffrey G. Duarte

“The history that you are writing today will become the both the legacy of your yesterday as well as the template of your tomorrow. Therefore, think before you pick up the pen.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough
