“To memorize something, it's best to write it down.”

“If you're going to write, don't pretend to write down. It's going to be the best you can do, and it's the fact that it's the best you can do that kills you.”

“Never memorize something that you can look up.”

“There's something happening everyday, but I'm too tired and lazy to write it all down.”

“If this is a lecture and the lecturer writes down one thing and you take down something else, how are you going to pass your exams?”

“All I need is a sheet of paper
and something to write with, and then
I can turn the world upside down.”

“I am such a slow learner that once I understand something I might as well write it down!”

“I am a composer first and foremost, and have always believed that being able to write memorable melodies is what sets musicians apart.”

“I do not think writers ought ever to sit down and think they must write about some cause, or theme… If they write about their own experiences, something true is going to emerge.”

“I missed him. Love, I realized, was something your spine memorized. There was nothing you could do about that.”
