Quotes about Writing Device

Charles Bukowski

You can do without a woman but not a typewriter.

Tony Kushner

I write everything with fountain pens. I don't know why. I've done it since I was bar mitzvahed. I was given a fountain pen, a Parker fountain pen, and I loved it, and I've never liked writing anything with pencils or ball-points.

Amiri Baraka

I had a little portable typewriter. I call it my Harlem Literary Fellowship.

George Canning

The arm which should have launched the thunderbolt was occupied in guiding the pen.

R. L. Stine

Well, when I was 13, for my bar mitzvah I received my first typewriter. And that was special.

Reed Walters

See this pen! I can end your lives with a stroke of this pen!

While the racial incidents of Jena became a national cause célèbre, the quotation is memorable because it illustrated the huge de facto power that even a small town district attorney has. Though most do not abuse it, some do, and few Das threaten the way that Walters did. The reality is that simply by determining the charge, the DA is capable of incredible consequences on people’s lives. In the Jena situation, Walters had charged Black juveniles with “Attempted Second Degree Murder” for engaging in a fight with white juveniles. The penalty was from 50 to 100 years without any possibility of parole. A white student who had assaulted a Black was only charged with “Battery” a minor crime. Jena became the location of national civil rights protests.

Gustave Flaubert

I am a man-pen. I feel through the pen, because of the pen.

Mark Boal

I write on a computer, on a laptop or whatever.
