The answer is not in the damn blank page - it's in the days or years before and you have to dredge it up - exhume the past again ... ~ John Geddes
Blank Pages quotes by John Geddes
Your mind is the projection screen every writer steals; it is the firing of your neurones that makes every book come alive. You are the electricity that turns it on. A book cannot live until the touch of your hand on the first page brings it alive. A writer is essentially typing blank pages – shouting out spells in the dark – until the words are read by you, and the magic explodes into your head, and no one else's. ~ Caitlin Moran
Blank Pages quotes by Caitlin Moran
I'll tell you now. That silence almost beat me. It's the silence that scares me. It's the blank page on which I can write my own fears. The spirits of the dead have nothing on it. The dead one tried to show me hell, but it was a pale imitation of the horror I can paint on the darkness in a quiet moment. ~ Mark Lawrence
Blank Pages quotes by Mark Lawrence
Life is like a movie. Just roll up a film. When you finish it, just be kind and rewind. Don't live it to regret in the end, give it some room for reflections, meditate then leave like you were just starting it again.
Life is like a book, all unique and exclusive, filled with blank pages ready to be written, with many thoughts and creativity. So roll up your sleeve. Be bright and rewrite! ~ Ana Claudia Antunes
Blank Pages quotes by Ana Claudia Antunes
You have 365 new blank pages. What will you write on first blank page? ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Blank Pages quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
It is worth remembering that every writer begins with a naively physical notion of what art is. A book for him or her is not an expression or a series of expressions, but literally a volume, a prism with six rectangular sides made of thin sheets of papers which should include a cover, an inside cover, an epigraph in italics, a preface, nine or ten parts with some verses at the beginning, a table of contents, an ex libris with an hourglass and a Latin phrase, a brief list of errata, some blank pages, a colophon and a publication notice: objects that are known to constitute the art of writing. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Blank Pages quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
Never sit staring at a blank page or screen. If you find yourself stuck, write. Write about the scene you're trying to write. Writing about is easier than writing, and chances are, it will give you your way in. ~ Laini Taylor
Blank Pages quotes by Laini Taylor
I have to admit that this notebook, with its wilderness of blank pages, seems almost more threat than gift - for what can I write here that it will not hurt to remember? You ~ Jean Hegland
Blank Pages quotes by Jean Hegland
Look at the blank pages before you with courage. Now fill them with beauty. ~ Blaine Hogan
Blank Pages quotes by Blaine Hogan
I took many notes, more than usual before I sat down and wrote Act One, Scene One. I had perhaps eighty pages of notes ... I was so prepared that the script seemed inevitable. It was almost all there. I could almost collate it from my notes. The story line, the rather tenuous plot we have, seemed to work out itself. It was a very helpful way to write, and it wasn't so scary. I wasn't starting with a completely blank page. ~ Charles Busch
Blank Pages quotes by Charles Busch
The page is long, blank, and full of truth. When I am through with it, it shall probably be long, full, and empty with words. ~ Jack Kerouac
Blank Pages quotes by Jack Kerouac
I suppose I do deserve it; for not noticing the nearest helpers I have. But you must admit the accumulation of incidents was rather formidable. Did you never feel just a momentary awe of the awful volume?' 'Oh, that,' said Father Brown. 'I opened it as soon as I saw it lying there. It's all blank pages. You see, I am not superstitious.' The ~ G.K. Chesterton
Blank Pages quotes by G.K. Chesterton
There is no reason why you should be bored when you can be otherwise. But if you find yourself sitting in the hedgerow with nothing but weeds, there is no reason for shutting your eyes and seeing nothing, instead of finding what beauty you may in the weeds. To put it cynically, life is too short to waste it in drawing blanks. Therefore, it is up to you to find as many pictures to put on your blank pages as possible. ~ Emily Post
Blank Pages quotes by Emily Post
The enemy is not the badly written page; it is the empty page the great advantage of a badly written page is that it can be rewritten. It can be improved. A blank page is zero. In fact, it's worse than zero, because it represents territory you're afraid, unwilling, or too lazy to explore. Avoid exploring this territory long enough, and you'll abandon your book. ~ Timothy Hallinan
Blank Pages quotes by Timothy Hallinan
I was strictly a college-ruled man myself, having no talent for illustration and a microscopic scrawl that made wide-ruled seem roomy. The blank pages were usually the most popular ~ Rachel Cohn
Blank Pages quotes by Rachel Cohn
Know that blank pages feel the urge of the ink as much as tears paint a different pain, changes ~ Goitsemang Sandra Mvula
Blank Pages quotes by Goitsemang Sandra Mvula
Could anything top the promise and potential of a blank page? What could be more satisfying? Never mind that it would soon be crammed with awkward penmanship, that my handwriting inevitably sloped downhill to the right-hand corner, that I blotted my ink, that my drawings never came out the way I saw them in my head. Never mind all that. What counted was possibility. You could live on possibility, at least for a while. ~ Jacqueline Kelly
Blank Pages quotes by Jacqueline Kelly
Where are your monuments, your battles, martyrs?
Where is your tribal memory? Sirs,
in that gray vault. The sea. The sea
has locked them up. The sea is History.

First, there was the heaving oil,
heavy as chaos;
then, likea light at the end of a tunnel,

the lantern of a caravel,
and that was Genesis.
Then there were the packed cries,
the shit, the moaning:

Exodus.
Bone soldered by coral to bone,
mosaics
mantled by the benediction of the shark's shadow,

that was the Ark of the Covenant.
Then came from the plucked wires
of sunlight on the sea floor

the plangent harp of the Babylonian bondage,
as the white cowries clustered like manacles
on the drowned women,

and those were the ivory bracelets
of the Song of Solomon,
but the ocean kept turning blank pages

looking for History.
Then came the men with eyes heavy as anchors
who sank without tombs,

brigands who barbecued cattle,
leaving their charred ribs like palm leaves on the shore,
then the foaming, rabid maw

of the tidal wave swallowing Port Royal,
and that was Jonah,
but where is your Renaissance?

Sir, it is locked in them sea sands
out there past the reef's moiling shelf,
where the men-o'-war floated down;

strop on these goggles, I'll guide you there myself.
It's all subtle and sub ~ Derek Walcott
Blank Pages quotes by Derek Walcott
I still get up every morning at 4 A.M. I write seven days a week, including Christmas. And I still face a blank page every morning, and my characters don't really care how many books I've sold. ~ Dan Brown
Blank Pages quotes by Dan Brown
The events of your life are all crammed together one minute right after the other without any time lapses or blank pages or chapter breaks because no matter what happens life just keeps going and moving forward and words keep flowing and truths keep spewing whether you like it or not and life never lets you pause and just catch your fucking breath. ~ Colleen Hoover
Blank Pages quotes by Colleen Hoover
Director and producers have to take all the risks they can. We developed this film with the possibility to create departing from a blank page and to discover things as the process went along and as we understood the things that at first we couldn't understand in words. ~ Alex Abreu
Blank Pages quotes by Alex Abreu
Don't take purposeless people as your leaders. Their life is like an empty book with a nice cover paper and you have attempted to buy it. Of which use will it be to you for you to read blank pages. ~ Israelmore Ayivor
Blank Pages quotes by Israelmore Ayivor
There's something about a blank page that makes me tingle. ~ Nikki Grimes
Blank Pages quotes by Nikki Grimes
History is not the soil in which happiness grows. The periods of happiness in it are the blank pages of history. ~ Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Blank Pages quotes by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
They say that writers face the blank page. That's not true. It's more like 200 hundred blank pages! ~ R.S. Mellette
Blank Pages quotes by R.S. Mellette
I know what it's like to be distracted. To seek out distractions. To exhaust yourself doing every other little thing rather than face a blank page ~ Rainbow Rowell
Blank Pages quotes by Rainbow Rowell
I know absolutely nothing about where I'm going. I'm fine with that. I'm happy about it. Before, I had nothing. I had no life, no friends, and no family really, and I didn't really care. I had nothing, and nothing to lose, and then I knew loss. What I cared about was gone; it was all lost. Now I have everything to gain; everything is a clean slate. It's all blank pages waiting to be written on. It's all about going forward. It's all about uncertainty and possibilities. ~ Gregory Galloway
Blank Pages quotes by Gregory Galloway
Each New Year, we have before us a brand new book containing 365 blank pages. Let us fill them with all the forgotten things from last year - the words we forgot to say, the love we forgot to show, and the charity we forgot to offer. ~ Peggy Toney Horton
Blank Pages quotes by Peggy Toney Horton
This is all I have to give you - me." He lifts his shoulders and his vulnerability rips away a little piece of my heart. "A book with blank pages, weathered edges, and eraser marks, that's what I am. I need you to paint my future, write my story in permanent marker, just like the mark you left on my heart the day we met. ~ Jewel E. Ann
Blank Pages quotes by Jewel E. Ann
Write down the thoughts of the moment. Those that come unsought for are commonly the most valuable. ~ Francis Bacon
Blank Pages quotes by Francis Bacon
You can approach the act of writing with nervousness, excitement, hopefulness, or even despair
the sense that you can never completely put on the page what's in your mind and heart. You can come to the act with your fists clenched and your eyes narrowed, ready to kick ass and take down names. You can come to it because you want a girl to marry you or because you want to change the world. Come to it any way but lightly. Let me say it again: you must not come lightly to the blank page. ~ Stephen King
Blank Pages quotes by Stephen King
My printer printed off blank pages. Is my printer out of ink, or do I just have nothing to say? ~ Jarod Kintz
Blank Pages quotes by Jarod Kintz
The romance of life begins and ends with two blank pages. Age and extreme old age. ~ Jean Paul
Blank Pages quotes by Jean Paul
The book, if you would see anything in it, requires to be read in the clear, brown, twilight atmosphere in which it was written; if opened in the sunshine, it is apt to look exceedingly like a volume of blank pages. ~ Nathaniel Hawthorne
Blank Pages quotes by Nathaniel Hawthorne
Good," and Judge Robertson began to ramble on about the benefits and drawbacks of living with either parent. Penny's attention wandered, she had stopped pretending the judge's eyebrow's had metamorphosis into butterflies and began to wonder if any adult actually read the books on these walls, and if she flipped through would she find blank pages after a while, or a joke page, just to surprise someone who actually sat through the book. That's what she would do if she had to write something so awful, and who would want to check?
-Child of Fire ~ Vanessa Wolf
Blank Pages quotes by Vanessa Wolf
It took me about three years to write About Grace. I wasn't teaching two of those years, so I was working eight-hour days, five days a week. And it would include research and reading - it wasn't just a blank page, laying down words. ~ Anthony Doerr
Blank Pages quotes by Anthony Doerr
Mom, I don't need a STUPID book with 288 BLANK pages!! ~ Rachel Renee Russell
Blank Pages quotes by Rachel Renee Russell
I don't see a gray area when it comes to writers. You either are, or you are not. You give it every ounce of your being, or you end up with blank pages and 'What ifs'. ~ J.B. Jenn
Blank Pages quotes by J.B. Jenn
Creativity is always a leap of faith. You're faced with a blank page, blank easel, or an empty stage. ~ Julia Cameron
Blank Pages quotes by Julia Cameron
Dear . . .
You're the poem I couldn't finish
The journey I should have never started
I saw tragedy in our ending
My pen bled its heart out trying to change it
But you were the fight I didn't want to lose
The addiction I didn't want to quit
Yet there was only one of us holding on
I wasn't attached to the man you are
But the one you could be
I tried to build where there was no foundation
Create a fairy tale on blank pages
But some stories need not be told, let alone written
You'll read my words and won't be moved
Your arrogance will not soften
You won't be changed
Your heart, if you should have one,
will not bend or break
The worst part of it all
Is this poem is about you
and you'll never even know it ~ Samantha King
Blank Pages quotes by Samantha King
Blank pages are like monsters that haunt my dreams until I feed them words. ~ V.M. Sawh
Blank Pages quotes by V.M. Sawh
History is not the soil of happiness. The periods of happiness are blank pages in it. ~ Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Blank Pages quotes by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Now all that is left of education for me, Is to read and write your name, Those blank pages invite me evermore, To fill them over and over, With your memories that ever grows… ~ Piyush Rohankar
Blank Pages quotes by Piyush Rohankar
There's a meaning behind blank pages, too. ~ Beth Revis
Blank Pages quotes by Beth Revis
Blank pages inspire me with terror. ~ Margaret Atwood
Blank Pages quotes by Margaret Atwood
A blank page is no empty space. It is brimming with potential ... It is a masterpiece in waiting
yours. ~ A.A. Patawaran
Blank Pages quotes by A.A. Patawaran
I like Stallone, because he writes. He sits down with a blank page and comes up with another Rambo movie. That isn't very easy for anybody. He's made it successful on top of that. ~ Dolph Lundgren
Blank Pages quotes by Dolph Lundgren
When I write, the first blank page, or any blank page, means nothing to me. What means something is a page that has been filled with words. ~ Guillermo Cabrera Infante
Blank Pages quotes by Guillermo Cabrera Infante
Blank pages are supposed to be an invitation. A challenge, even. Here is your canvas - how creative can you be? What limits can you stretch to bring to life that creature in your head? A blank piece of paper is infinite possibilities. ~ Francesca Zappia
Blank Pages quotes by Francesca Zappia
The fact is that blank pages inspire me with terror. What will I put on them? Will it be good enough? Will I have to throw it out? ~ Margaret Atwood
Blank Pages quotes by Margaret Atwood
I like to make blank pages darker. It's this thing I do. ~ Rob E. Boley
Blank Pages quotes by Rob E. Boley
One thing I knew about the novelist's task: when in doubt, write; when empty, write; when afraid, write. Nothing is more impenetrable than the blank page. The blank page is the void, the absence of sense and feeling, the white light of literary death. ~ Philip Sington
Blank Pages quotes by Philip Sington
That's why they always put two blank pages at the back of the atlas. They're for new countries. You're meant to fill them in yourself. ~ Roald Dahl
Blank Pages quotes by Roald Dahl
The History of the world is not the theatre of happiness. Periods of happiness are blank pages in it, for they are periods of harmony
periods when the antithesis is in abeyance. ~ Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Blank Pages quotes by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
I am the blank page between the Old and the New Testament. ~ Benjamin Disraeli
Blank Pages quotes by Benjamin Disraeli
It was Russia, January 5, 1943, and just another icy day. Out among the city and snow, there were dead Russians and Germans everywhere. Those who remained were firing into the blank pages in front of them. Three languages interwove. The Russian, the bullets, the German. ~ Markus Zusak
Blank Pages quotes by Markus Zusak
If you look closely, there is no book more visual than Three Trapped Tigers, in that it is filled with blank pages, dark pages, it has stars made of words, the famous magical cube made of numbers, and there is even a page which is a mirror. ~ Guillermo Cabrera Infante
Blank Pages quotes by Guillermo Cabrera Infante
He sat before a note book of blank pages, saying: I swallow my own words. I chew and chew everything until it deteriorates. Every thought or impulse I have is chewed into nothingness. I want to capture all my thoughts at once, but they run in all directions. If I could do this I would be capturing the nimblest of minds, like a shoal of minnows. I would reveal innocence and duplicity, generosity and calculation, fear and cowardice and courage. I want to tell the whole truth, but I cannot tell the whole truth because I would have to write four pages at once, like four columns simultaneously, four pages to the present one, and so I do not write at all. I would have to write backwards, retrace my steps constantly to catch the echoes and overtones. ~ Anais Nin
Blank Pages quotes by Anais Nin
There is something so innocent about blank pages
That I can't lie to them about my existence ~ Yarro Rai
Blank Pages quotes by Yarro Rai
Though Marcus' essay extends over 13 pages of small text, at its core is a very simple premise: Contemporary American fiction has lost its innovative edge and its interest in language as art, and Jonathan Franzen is largely, if not exclusively, to blame. ~ Jess Row
Blank Pages quotes by Jess Row
Since we must and do write each our own way, we may during actual writing get more lasting instruction not from another's work, whatever its blessings, however better it is than ours, but from our own poor scratched-over pages. For these we can hold up to life. That is, we are born with a mind and heart to hold each page up to, and to ask: is it valid? ~ Eudora Welty
Blank Pages quotes by Eudora Welty
Many company policies restrict use of E-mail, limit access to offensive Web sites and prohibit disclosure of confidential information. Few policies, if any, directly address personal Web pages. ~ Bill Dedman
Blank Pages quotes by Bill Dedman
Sometimes I see the future and it's like I'm a blank. I mean I know what I'll look like, that I'll exist. But I don't know who I'll be or who will be with me. At least I know who I'm not and who won't be with me. ~ Sara Zarr
Blank Pages quotes by Sara Zarr
Given a blank we can't help trying to fill it in along lines of customary seeing or saying. But the best poetic lines undermine those habits, break the pre- off the -dictable, unsettle the suburbs of your routine sentiments, and rattle the tracks of your trains of thoughts. ~ Heather McHugh
Blank Pages quotes by Heather McHugh
I remember being forced to go to Sunday school for a number of years, even though my parents were not religious. No one was really religious; it was just the framework. There was no passion for it. No passion for anything. Just a quiet, kind of floaty, kind of semi-oppressive, blank palette that youre living in. ~ Tim Burton
Blank Pages quotes by Tim Burton
You shall see them on a beautiful quarto page where a neat rivulet of text shall meander through a meadow of margin. ~ Richard Brinsley Sheridan
Blank Pages quotes by Richard Brinsley Sheridan
Remember that a little learning can be a pleasant thing. Italy gives much, in beauty, gaiety, diversity of arts and landscapes, good humor and energy - willingly, without having to be coaxed or courted. Paradoxically, she requires (as do other countries, probably more so) and deserves some preparation as background to enhance her pleasures. It is almost impossible to read a total history of Italy; there was no united country until a hundred years ago, no single line of power, no concerted developments. It is useful, however, to know something about what made Siena run and stop, to become acquainted with the Estes and the Gonzagas, the Medicis and the Borgias, the names that were the local history. It helps to know something about the conflicts of the medieval church with the Holy Roman Empire, of the French, Spanish and early German kings who marked out large chunks of Italy for themselves or were invited to invade by a nervous Italian power. Above all, it helps to turn the pages of a few art and architecture books to become reacquainted with names other those of the luminous giants.

The informed visitors will not allow himself to be cowed by the deluge of art. See what interests or attracts you; there is no Italian Secret Service that reports on whether you have seen everything. If you try to see it all except as a possible professional task, you may come to resist it all. Relax, know what you like and don't like - not the worst of measures - and let the rest go. ~ Kate Simon
Blank Pages quotes by Kate Simon
Simon's walls were covered in what looked like pages ripped from a comic book, but when I squinted, I realized they were hand drawn. Some were black-and-white, but most were in full color,
everything from character sketches to splash panels to full pages, done in a style that wasn't quite manga, wasn't
quite comic book. ~ Kelley Armstrong
Blank Pages quotes by Kelley Armstrong
Pundits always have something to write about; the novelist just has a blank screen. ~ Simon Mawer
Blank Pages quotes by Simon Mawer
Republicans are taking the possibility of [Donald] Trump as nominee seriously enough that the committee that oversees next year's Senate races laid out a confidential seven-page blueprint for candidates on how to run with Trump at the top of the ticket. ~ Dalia Mogahed
Blank Pages quotes by Dalia Mogahed
Until you run out of pages, there's still room to write an epic ending. ~ Kevin Ngo
Blank Pages quotes by Kevin Ngo
I don't have a problem believing in God and Jesus. But in Genesis one has to wonder about these sentences that just go on and end without finishing. The thought is unfinished. Where did Adam go? What is he doing? Hello? There has to be some pages missing. ~ Bill Cosby
Blank Pages quotes by Bill Cosby
But mostly it was justice. If they would do it to him, they would do it to anyone. Darling picked the mask up that he'd made for himself, and covered his face with it. Shaped from solid gold, it held a blank expression - justice took neither pleasure nor pain from punishment. It just was. Frigid, unfeeling, and swift. The only part of him the mask didn't conceal was his scarred mouth and his eyes. Eyes that were now as cold as the rest of him. I am retribution. For ~ Sherrilyn Kenyon
Blank Pages quotes by Sherrilyn Kenyon
The past is set down in a thousand thousand indelible scrolls. But the future is a blank parchment forever in wait of a present. ~ Andrew Levkoff
Blank Pages quotes by Andrew Levkoff
I have preferred to teach my students not English literature but my love for certain authors, or, even better, certain pages, or even better than that, certain lines. One falls in love with a line, then with a page, then with an author. Well, why not? It is a beautiful process. ~ Jorge Luis Borges
Blank Pages quotes by Jorge Luis Borges
Plover's words were like dried flowers, stiff and crumbling, crushed flat between pages, when we'd had the living, blooming blossoms all around ~ Lev Grossman
Blank Pages quotes by Lev Grossman
Handwriting everything, for me, is psychologically useful because it keeps my writing economical. I think there are word processor styles emerging. Something does seem to happen to a writer's style when he works on a word processor. When you hand write a thing the size of Weaveworld (584 pages) you want to make sure every word counts because it's such a huge labour to get it down. ~ Clive Barker
Blank Pages quotes by Clive Barker
I just like to enjoy life and push myself. Of course, there is method to my madness. When you are entering into a new industry, for example, it helps to do something to get your name on the front pages. ~ Richard Branson
Blank Pages quotes by Richard Branson
When you come up with a theory, you fall in love with the beauty the simplicity and elegance of it. But then you have to get a sheet of paper and pencil and crack out all the details. Hundreds and hundreds of pages. Because you have to prove it. ~ Michio Kaku
Blank Pages quotes by Michio Kaku
The test of real literature is that it will bear repetition. We read over the same pages again and again, and always with fresh delight. ~ Samuel McChord Crothers
Blank Pages quotes by Samuel McChord Crothers
If reading makes you smart then how come when you read a book they have to put the title of the book on the top of every single page? Does anyone get halfway through a book, What the hell am I reading? ~ Brian Regan
Blank Pages quotes by Brian Regan
A dash derives from "to dash," to shatter, strike violently, to throw suddenly or violently, hence to throw carelessly in or on, hence to write carelessly or suddenly, to add or insert suddenly or carelessly to or in the page. "To dash" comes from Middle English daschen, itself probably from Scandinavian-compare Danish daske, to beat, to strike. Ultimately the word is-rather obviously-echoic. ~ Eric Partridge
Blank Pages quotes by Eric Partridge
Having deadlines helps because people are constantly breathing down my neck, and tapping their toes waiting for pages. So I just have to work nine to five. If I didn't have deadlines then I might be more of a golden hour kind of guy, writing from eight to noon and calling it a day, but that's just not the way I work right now. ~ David Lindsay-Abaire
Blank Pages quotes by David Lindsay-Abaire
May you find good hunting, swift running, and shelter when you sleep. (Leafpool to Ashfur, page 1) ~ Erin Hunter
Blank Pages quotes by Erin Hunter
I didn't get how big it was until I went home, turned on the television and saw it on all the news, and later that night on the front pages of all the newspapers. Then I got it. ~ Paul Simon
Blank Pages quotes by Paul Simon
But let me begin with a statement of my own passionate and indignant belief
I do not care one goddamned thing about how James Dickey conducted his personal life. I care everything about what this man wrote on blank sheets of paper when he sat alone probing the extremities of imagination. ~ Pat Conroy
Blank Pages quotes by Pat Conroy
Unicorns, dragons, witches may be creatures conjured up in dreams, but on the page their needs, joys, anguishes, and redemptions should be just as true as those of Madame Bovary or Martin Chuzzlewit. ~ Alberto Manguel
Blank Pages quotes by Alberto Manguel
This whole book is composed of first pages. ~ Helene Cixous
Blank Pages quotes by Helene Cixous
A Christ upon paper, though it were the sacred pages of the Gospel, would have been as powerless to save Christendom as a Christ in fresco; not less feeble than the Countenance which, in the last stages of its decay, may be traced on the wall of the Refectory at Milan. A living Christ is the key to the phenomenon of Christian history. ~ Henry Parry Liddon
Blank Pages quotes by Henry Parry Liddon
The printed page was like wine to me. ~ Robert E. Howard
Blank Pages quotes by Robert E. Howard
Let my life as Poet begin. I want the life of the Poet. I have labored for over twelve years, one thousand pages of prose. Now, I want the easiness of poetry. The brevity of the poem. ~ Maxine Hong Kingston
Blank Pages quotes by Maxine Hong Kingston
No," she whispered. "No more."
His breath came hot and heavy against her ear as his arm crept back around her waist. "Why not?"
For a moment her mind was blank. What reason could she give that would make sense to him? If she protested that they weren't married, he would simply put an end to that objection by marrying her, and that would be disastrous.
Then she remembered Petey's plan. "Because I've already promised myself to another."
His body went still against hers. An oppressive silence fell over them both, punctuated only by the distant clanging of the watch bell. But he didn't move away, and at first she feared he hadn't heard her.
"I said - " she began.
"I heard you." He drew back, his face taught with suspicion. "What do you mean 'another?' Someone in England?"
She considered inventing a fiancé in London. But that would have no weight with him, would it? "Another sailor. I . . . I've agreed to marry one of your crew."
His expression hardened until it looked chiseled from the same oak that formed his formidable ship. "You're joking."
She shook her head furiously. "Peter Hargraves asked me to . . . to be his wife last night. And I agreed."
A stunned expression spread over his face before anger replaced it. Planting his hands on either side of her hips, he bent his head until his face was within inches from her. "He's not one of my crew. Is that why you accepted his proposal - because he's not one of my men? Or do you clai ~ Sabrina Jeffries
Blank Pages quotes by Sabrina Jeffries
Of course, for whatever is amiss in these pages (and there will be much), the blame is mine. But permit me to be grateful if anything in them is true. ~ J. Budziszewski
Blank Pages quotes by J. Budziszewski
His eyes were as blank and bright as doorknobs. ~ Richard Bachman
Blank Pages quotes by Richard Bachman
The writers of religious scriptures and texts would have done humanity a grand service if they would have used just one sentence, in one of the pages out of the thousands, to support respectful and peaceful disagreement. ~ Steve Maraboli
Blank Pages quotes by Steve Maraboli
As for school, well, the only kids who read books for pleasure, who read outside of when a teacher was literally standing over them in the classroom, were the freaks. The kids like ... like him. Docherty. The Professor. Strange and unexpected then when I discovered under Mr Cardew's encouragement that what seemed to me to be tracts of boredom and torture actually contained un imaginable vistas, entire worlds of escape. (And you were much in need of escape then, weren't you?) That you could open one of them and start turning the pages and that, instead of time slowing down and refusing to pass, you would look up at the clock (that clock, in its mesh cage) and the deadly, endless afternoon ahead of you would have vanished. ~ John Niven
Blank Pages quotes by John Niven
Kennedy invited us into the White House-the first time in the history of the White House picketers had been invited inside. This made front page headlines. ~ Peter Coyote
Blank Pages quotes by Peter Coyote
