“Between my finger and my thumb
The squat pen rests; snug as a gun.”

“My two fingers on a typewriter have never connected with my brain. My hand on a pen does. A fountain pen, of course. Ball-point pens are only good for filling out forms on a plane.”

“It's like I've got a shotgun in my mouth with my finger on the trigger, and I like the taste of the gun metal.”

“Speaking personally, you can have my gun, but you'll take my book when you pry my cold, dead fingers off of the binding.”

“The pen is mightier than the sword, if you shoot that pen out of a gun”

“If ink and pen are snatched from me, shall I
Who have dipped my finger in my heart's blood complain—
Of if they seal my tongue, when I have made
A mouth of every round link of my chain?”

“When I hold you in my arms and I feel my finger on your trigger I know no one can do me no harm because happiness is a warm gun.”

“Twitter broke the other day, and a lot of people were going, "My Thumbs! My thumbs are moving for no reason! What's that?" "A book". "Who are you?"”

“My tongue, not my pen, is my instrument.”

“The pen is almost as pretty an implement in a woman's fingers, as a needle.”
