“Crushed to earth and rising again is an author's gymnastic. Once he fails to struggle to his feet and grab his pen, he will contemplate a fact he should never permit himself to face: that in all probability books have been written, are being written, will be written, better than anything he has done, is doing, or will do.” ShouldHas BeensBookDoneFactsEarthFacesStruggleFailingWrittenFeetPerseveranceRisingPensPermitContemplatingProbabilityCrushedRising Again Author:Fannie Hurst
“The life of each and every one of us has been written. The crucifix is my autobiography. The blood is the ink. The nails the pen. The skin the parchment. On every line of that body I can trace my life. In the crown of thorns I can read my pride. In the hands that are dug with nails, I can read avarice and greed. In the flesh hanging from him like purple rags, I can read my lust. In feet that are fettered, I can find the times that I ran away and would not let him follow. Any sin that you can think of is written there.” ThinkingHas BeensI CanBodyHandsLinesSinWrittenBloodFeetPrideSkinsGreedFleshLustRanPensCrownsNailsAutobiographyInkPurpleThornsAvariceRagsI Can ReadCrown Of Thorns Author:Fulton J.

“It is a written fact that our people had warned of all these consequences of wrongful environmental behavior since our very first contact with the non-Indians. There was a time when our elders used to say to us, "You can't function with one foot in the white man's canoe and one foot in the Indian's canoe." With these extreme environmental concerns taking place on the earth, mankind is all in the same boat.

“I don't think fast enough on my feet in terms of the writing to change the script too much when I'm shooting it. I like to have it set and done and know that I feel good about it and I might add a few lines here and there while we're shooting, if I think of a new joke, I might toss it in, but for the most part, I try to stick to the written script and have all the latitude exist within that.” IfsThinkingKnowsFeelsWritingTryingDoneEnoughMightTermLinesToo MuchWrittenFeetJokesAddSticksScriptsFeel GoodShootingHere And ThereTossI Feel GoodLatitude Author:Kenneth Lonergan
