Powder Horn Sayings

#1. I think a writer should always be surprised; and the more I write, the more it seems that the language itself, when explored with humility, is always deeper and more accurate than what the author thought he had in mind.

Ciaran Carson

#2. Jenna had started swimming in the deep end of the pity pool.

Rachel Hawkins

#3. Get ticked and get going.

Gloria Feldt

#4. Wagner used to read the libretti of his operas to his friends; I am glad I was not there.

Ralph Vaughan Williams

#5. Every time you call me Master, I love you more. Rene Tanner, Reclaimed Surrender.

#8. I still get butterflies on the first tee. I still get sweaty hands, and my heart pumps a lot going down the 18th. But I know what winning is all about now, and that's a feeling that I like.

#10. Having a diverse sense of taste - or lack of taste - I loved so many different things. I was drawn to the stupidity and excitement of glam, I had a thorough upbringing in rhythm and blues.

Paul Westerberg

#11. The hard part of writing at all is sitting your ass down in a chair and writing it. There's always something better to do, like I've got an interview, sharpening the pencils, trimming the roses. There's always something better to do. Going to a writer's club?

Jerry Pournelle

#12. I always overpay or overtip when I'm upset.

Sue Kaufman

#13. Since a given system can never of its own accord go over into another equally probable state but into a more probable one, it is likewise impossible to construct a system of bodies that after traversing various states returns periodically to its original state, that is a perpetual motion machine.

Ludwig Boltzmann
