Marriage - a book of which the first chapter is written in poetry and the remaining chapters in prose.
Beverley Nichols

Marriage commissioners who choose not to marry homosexuals are being fired. A Knights of Columbus chapter in British Columbia is in court because it chooses not allow a lesbian group to use its facility for marriage ceremonies. The list goes on.
Stockwell Day

More than forty years of Communist rule in Central and Eastern Europe resulted in an unhappy and artificial division of Europe. It is this dark chapter of European history that we now have the opportunity to close.
Anders Fogh Rasmussen

My first name - I have no middle name - was chosen by my father, as he told me, on that solitary walk in the forested hills. He selected it from a verse of the seventh chapter of Isaiah; there was no Immanuel among our ancestors known to him.
Immanuel Velikovsky

The benefit of this kind of outlining is that you discover a story's flaws before you invest a lot of time writing the first draft, and it's almost impossible to get stuck at a difficult chapter, because you've already done the work to push through those kinds of blocks.
George Stephen

The final story, the final chapter of western man, I believe, lies in Los Angeles.
Phil Ochs

The need for raising the awareness of this shameful chapter in U.S. history is more apparent than ever.
Michael M. Honda

The old fun thing is when somebody typed up the first chapter of War and Peace. And then made a precis of the rest of it and sent it out and only one publisher recognized it.
Jim Harrison

This is an exciting time. A new chapter in our history.
John Barth

Time to open up a new chapter in life, and to explore a larger centre.
Lillian Russell

Usually, when people get to the end of a chapter, they close the book and go to sleep. I deliberately write a book so when the reader gets to the end of the chapter, he or she must turn one more page.
Sidney Sheldon

We have talked long enough in this country about equal rights. It is time now to write the next chapter - and to write it in the books of law.
Lyndon B. Johnson

We kinda look at this as the second or third chapter of our lives. After college, most people figure out what they want to do with their lives. But we already know what we want to do in the future and that is to continue to further our business goals.
Mary-Kate Olsen

When I was a child of six or seven my father would show me the chapter in the prophet Isaiah where the name Immanuel is found; more than once he spoke to me of the faith he put in me.
Immanuel Velikovsky

When one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better language.
John Donne

When people start writing there is this idea that you have to get everything right first time, every sentence has to be perfect, every paragraph has to be perfect, every chapter has to be perfect, but what you're doing is not any kind of public show, until you're ready for it.
Irvine Welsh

With God's help and guidance, we shall soon see the end of this most unpleasant chapter in our history.
John Agyekum Kufuor

You will, I am sure, agree with me that... if page 534 only finds us in the second chapter, the length of the first one must have been really intolerable.
Arthur Conan Doyle

Your emotional life is not written in cement during childhood. You write each chapter as you go along.
Harry Stack Sullivan
