But peace does not rest in the charters and covenants alone. It lies in the hearts and minds of all people. So let us not rest all our hopes on parchment and on paper, let us strive to build peace, a desire for peace, a willingness to work for peace in the hearts and minds of all of our people. I believe that we can. I believe the problems of human destiny are not beyond the reach of human beings.

A man writes to throw off the poison which he has accumulated because of his false way of life. He is trying to recapture his innocence, yet all he succeeds in doing (by writing) is to inoculate the world with a virus of his disillusionment. No man would set a word down on paper if he had the courage to live out what he believed in.

It seems to me the book has not just aesthetic values-- the charming little clothy box of the thing, the smell of the glue, even the print, which has its own beauty. But there's something about the sensation of ink on paper that is in some sense a thing, a phenomenon rather than an epiphenomenon. I can't break the association of electric trash with the computer screen. Words on the screen give the sense of being just another passing electronic wriggle.

My movie is born first in my head, dies on paper; is resuscitated by the living persons and real objects I use, which are killed on film but, placed in a certain order and projected on to a screen, come to life again like flowers in water.

Bourgeois society is infected by monomania the monomania of accounting. For it, the only thing that has value is what can be counted in francs and centimes. It never hesitates to sacrifice human life to figures which look well on paper, such as national budgets or industrial balance sheets.

Let the public mind become corrupt, and all efforts to secure property, liberty, or life by the force of laws written on paper will be as vain as putting up a sign in an apple orchard to exclude canker worms.

Engineering is a great profession. There is the fascination of watching a figment of the imagination emerge through the aid of science to a plan on paper. Then it moves to realisation in stone or metal or energy. Then it brings homes to men or women. Then it elevates the standard of living and adds to the comforts of life. This is the engineer's high privilege.

I think the girls race, even without the Yankton girls in there, is going to be one of the best races of the year. On paper and with people talking, everyone says Roosevelt. Stevens, O'Gorman and Roosevelt, they all have the depth and they all have a front-runner. It's going to be who has the best day that day.

An educated man ... is thoroughly inoculated against humbug, thinks for himself and tries to give his thoughts, in speech or on paper, some style.

Love is not written on paper, for paper can be erased, nor is it etched in stone, for stone can be broken. But, it is inscribed on a heart—and there it shall remain forever

Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with the shades of deeper meaning.

My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way.

One writes to make a home for oneself, on paper, in time and in others' minds.

Never begin the day until it is finished on paper.

Only on paper has humanity yet achieved glory, beauty, truth, knowledge, virtue, and abiding love.

The true poem is not that which the public read. There is always a poem not printed on paper,... in the poet's life. It is what he has become ...

Whatever I may be, I want to be elsewhere than on paper. My art and my industry have been employed in making myself good for something; my stu...
