All men are lonely. ordsprog

All men are lonely. But sometimes it seems to me that we Americans are the loneliest of all. Our hunger for foreign places and new ways has been with us almost like a national disease. Our literature is stamped with a quality of longing and unrest, and our writers have been great wanderers.

Carson McCullers (1917-1967)

It is a curious emotion, this certain homesickness I have in mind. With Americans, it is a national trait, as native to us as the roller-coaster or the jukebox. It is no simple longing for the home town or country of our birth. The emotion is Janus-faced: we are torn between a nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange. As often as not, we are homesick most for the places we have never known.

Carson McCullers (1917-1967)

As a librarian and a lover of literature I believe it's important for Americans to visit the homes of our most loved and renowned writers.

Laura Bush (1946-)

Sean went extremely well for the Wanderers on Monday night. He deserves his chance. We want to make the Wanderers competitive in that if a player plays better for the Wanderers than the player who played for the Saints, they will be up for selection.

Budge Pountney

Japanese and Americans approach research and development in different ways - the Japanese use it to create a new product of higher quality while Americans put innovation first and assume quality will follow. Have them work together and the result is superior, the process dynamic.

We are grateful to Italy's national flag football team and the Waldorf Wanderers for participating in our first international tournament. The atmosphere at Kraft Stadium over the weekend was incredible. Israeli players even played with the Waldorf Wanderers after one of their players was injured and another fell ill.

Literature does not exist in a vacuum. Writers as such have a definite social function exactly proportional to their ability as writers. This is their main use.

Ezra Pound (1885-1972)

When you look at national figures you get one picture, and you get another when you look at geographic variation. The places in the country where we have very high rates of deaths from heart disease are places that have historically experienced economic underdevelopment. ... There have been a lack of opportunities for people to experience healthy living compared to other areas.

Elizabeth Barnett

I get so excited when I see these writers because they're extraordinary, award-winning writers that are here. To gather them and put them in one forum could only raise the bar and make San Antonio known for something memorable like literature instead of the stories that dominate San Antonio.

Sandra Cisneros

Congress must enact the windfall profits tax without delay, ... It will be money well spent. Unlike the billions of dollars that we ship to foreign countries to pay for foreign oil, these funds will be paid by Americans to Americans.

Jimmy Carter (1924-2002)

We decided to do something completely different. Writing is the loneliest job in the world. I wanted to capture that solitude. Writers spend a lot of time alone in a room just typing away, and this is the first movie to really show how a writer works.

Bennett Miller

It seems to me we can never give up longing and wishing while we are thoroughly alive. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good, and we must hunger after them.

George Eliot (1819-1880)

How simple the writing of literature would be if it were only necessary to write in another way what has been well written. It is because we have had such great writers in the past that a writer is driven far out past where he can go, out to where no one can help him.

Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961)

A good many young writers make the mistake of enclosing a stamped, self-addressed envelope, big enough for the manuscript to come back in. This is too much of a temptation to the editor. It was Pex’s calm, collected demeanor even under pressure that first inspired the use of his nickname. A good many young writers make the mistake of enclosing a stamped, self-addressed envelope, big enough for the manuscript to come back in. This is too much of a temptation to the editor.

Ring Lardner (1885-1933)

To be truly challenging, a voyage, like a life, must rest on a firm foundation of financial unrest. Otherwise you are doomed to a routine traverse, the kind known to yachtsmen, who play with their boats at sea - "cruising," it is called. Voyaging belongs to seamen, and to the wanderers of the world who cannot, or will not, fit in. If you are contemplating a voyage and you have the means, abandon the venture until your fortunes change. Only then will you know what the sea is all about.

Sterling Hayden (1916-)
