QUOTES about WRITING:

Art thou a pen, whose task shall be
To drown in ink
What writers think?
Oh, wisely write,
That pages white
Be not the worse for ink and thee.
—Ethel Lynn Beers (Ethelinda Eliot), The Gold Nugget

Whose noble praise
Deserves a quill pluckt from an angel's wing.
—Dorothy Berry, Sonnet, prefixed to Diana Primrose's "Chair of Pearls"

Benearth the rule of men entirely great
The pen is mightier than the sword.
—Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, first Baron Lytton

From this it appears how much more cruel
the pen may be than the sword.
—Robert Burton, Anatomy of Melancholy

The pen became a clarion.
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Monte Cassino

The swifter hand doth the swift words outrun:
Before the tongue hath spoke the hand hath done.
—Marcus Valerius Martial, Epigrams
