I read and walked for miles at night along the beach, writing bad blank verse and searching endlessly for someone wonderful who would step out of the darkness and change my life. It never crossed my mind that that person could be me.
Anna Quindlen

I think Blank Generation holds up pretty well. You listen to that with headphones and there's a lot going on there with the guitars- it's the product of a lot of fighting.

Glenda Jackson

I try and reduce myself to an almost blank slate and hope to God that I am creative.
Ben Kingsley

I write in the afternoon, from about 12 until 6 or 7. I use an upstairs room as my office. Once I get going I keep at it, and it usually takes about six months from the first blank screen until 'The End.'

Jim McDermott

If you look closely, there is no book more visual than Three Trapped Tigers, in that it is filled with blank pages, dark pages, it has stars made of words, the famous magical cube made of numbers, and there is even a page which is a mirror.
Guillermo Cabrera Infante

Anthony Doerr

It would absolutely suck if you paid a few bucks for a book only to find that on the first page it said, 'Once upon a time they all lived happily ever after' and the rest of the book was blank.
Simon Travaglia

It's a marvellous life, a gregarious life that we've had. We're very lucky in that way. Unlike writers or painters, we don't sit down in front of a blank canvas and say, 'How do I start? Where do I start?'
Albert Finney

It's so fine and yet so terrible to stand in front of a blank canvas.
Paul Cezanne

Kevin Keegan said if he had a blank sheet of paper, five names would be on it.
Alvin Martin

Many plays - certainly mine - are like blank checks. The actors and directors put their own signatures on them.
Thornton Wilder

My eyes went blank, and I stared off, and the music started. It was raining, and the sun was shining at the same time, and there were these big bay windows, and there was the blue in the sky, and the sun on the trees, and it was drizzling.
Al Jarreau

My favorite thing is to be alone in a room with a blank paper in front of me and the time to fill it.
Dirk Benedict

No, I don't autograph blank slips, checks, or stickers, and certainly no books without me in them.
Jack L. Chalker

The answer scrawled on a blank page in a daily newspaper, was conceived whilst aboard a ferry.
Harold Stephen Black

The fact that something is in a rhymed form or in blank verse will not make it good poetry.
