Outlines Quotes - Page 2

• If we imagine an observer to approach our planet from outer space, and, pushing aside the belts of red-brown clouds which obscure our atmosphere, to gaze for a whole day on the surface of the earth as it rotates beneath him, the feature, beyond all others most likely to arrest his attention would be the wedge-like outlines of the continents as they narrow away to the South.

• The time I trust will come, perhaps within the lives of some of us, when the outline of this science will be clearly made out and generally recognised, when its nomenclature will be fixed, and its principles form a part of elementary instruction.

• Well, first you have to love writing. A lot of authors love having written. But I enjoy the actual writing. Beside that, I think the main reason I can be so prolific is the huge amount of planning I do before I start to write. I do a very complete, chapter-by-chapter outline of every book I write. When I sit down to write, I already know everything that's going to happen in the book. This means I've done all the important thinking, and I can relax and enjoy the writing. I could never write so many books if I didn't outline them first.

• To me the only real star of the movie is the writer. And I work with writers very closely, from outline to first draft and on to the seventh draft, whatever it takes. Then my job is to support the director to make the best movie we can. Some producers try to go past them, but my job is to support them.

• Cuando el sol está cubierto por las nubes, los objetos son menos llamativos, porque hay poca diferencia entre la luz y la sombra de los árboles y los edificios están iluminados por el brillo de la atmósfera que rodea los objetos de tal manera que las sombras son pocas, y estas pocas se difuminan de tal manera que su contorno se pierde en la bruma.

• All too often too often we try to push, pull, outline and control our ideas instead of letting them grow organically. The creative process is a process of surrender, not control.Mystery is at the heart of creativity. That, and surprise.

• SOON was the first novel where I used a rough outline. Usually I have characters and an idea and write as a process of discovery. Like working without a net.

• Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us, or we find it not. The best of beauty is a finer charm than skill in surfaces, in outlines, or rules of art can ever teach, namely, a radiation from the work of art of human character, — a wonderful expression through stone, or canvas, or musical sound, of the deepest and simplest attributes of our nature, and therefore most intelligible at last to those souls which have these attributes.

• A veces trabajo a partir de esbozos, que se abandonan inmediatamente. A veces, cuando intento encontrar a los personajes, hago algunos esbozos. A veces, los esquemas me ayudan a apuntar un poco, pero tiendo a descubrir que suele ser mucho más interesante, sobre todo con el primer borrador, vomitarlo sobre la página. Antes me ponía muy nerviosa pensar que, si escribía ese primer borrador y me moría esa noche, quien lo encontrara podría pensar que yo pensaba que era bueno. Para mí, es mucho más importante darle una forma general en la página y después tomarme todo el tiempo que necesite para refinarlo, arreglarlo y reescribirlo.

• It was a roller-coaster process. For a long time I had no idea what I was doing. I wasn't writing with an outline. And, rare for me, I wrote scenes out of sequence. . . . I didn't understand the play when I wrote it. It was something I'd give in to. It happens to me periodically. I give over and write whatever comes to me and I don't know what it means and then I do. It's thrilling.

• The concept of number is the obvious distinction between the beast and man. Thanks to number, the cry becomes a song, noise acquires rhythm, the spring is transformed into a dance, force becomes dynamic, and outlines figures.

• One is quite astonished to find how many things there are in the landscape, and in every object in it, one never noticed before. And this is a tremendous new pleasure and interest which invests every walk or drive with an added object. So many colours on the hillside, each different in shadow and in sunlight; such brilliant reflections in the pool, each a key lower than what they repeat; such lovely lights gilding or silvering surface or outline, all tinted exquisitely with pale colour, rose, orange, green or violet.

• Consider the nematode roundworm, the most abundant of all animals. Four out of five animals on Earth are nematode worms — if all solid materials except nematode worms were to be eliminated, you could still see the ghostly outline of most of it in nematode worms.

• Sólo me engaño a mí mismo cuando digo que mi madre ya sólo existe en las fotografías de mi tablón de anuncios o en el contorno de mi mano o en el puñado de recuerdos que aún guardo con fuerza. Vive por debajo de todo lo que hago. Su presencia influyó en lo que fui y su ausencia influye en lo que soy. Nuestras vidas están marcadas tanto por los que nos dejan como por los que se quedan. La pérdida es nuestro legado. La perspicacia es nuestro don. La memoria es nuestra guía.

• To the great tree-loving fraternity we belong. We love trees with universal and unfeigned love, and all things that do grow under them or around them - the whole leaf and root tribe. Not alone when they are in their glory, but in whatever state they are - in leaf, or rimed with frost, or powdered with snow, or crystal-sheathed in ice, or in severe outline stripped and bare against a November sky - we love them.

• Una masa de palabras latinas cae sobre los hechos como nieve blanda, desdibujando el contorno y tapando todos los detalles. El gran enemigo del lenguaje claro es la falta de sinceridad. Cuando hay una brecha entre los objetivos reales y los declarados, se recurre instintivamente a palabras largas y modismos agotados, como una sepia que escupe tinta. En nuestra época no existe eso de "mantenerse al margen de la política". Todas las cuestiones son políticas, y la propia política es un cúmulo de mentiras, evasivas, insensateces, odio y esquizofrenia. Cuando el ambiente general es malo, el lenguaje tiene que sufrir.

• In fiction, you have a rough idea what's coming up next - sometimes you even make a little outline - but in fact you don't know. Each day is a whole new - and for me, a very invigorating - experience.

• La sombra es la obstrucción de la luz. Las sombras me parecen de suprema importancia en la perspectiva, porque, sin ellas, los cuerpos opacos y sólidos estarán mal definidos; lo que está contenido dentro de sus contornos y sus propios límites estarán mal comprendidos a menos que se muestren contra un fondo de un tono diferente al de ellos mismos.
