I think the writer's job is to paint the gray because no life is clearly defined.

Andre Dubus

It's a very defined area, Newfoundland. It's an island - Labrador is a huge empty space. It's a very defined area with a very few number of people.

Princess Anne

To be locked into partisan politics doesn't permit you to think clearly.

Rudy Giuliani

It's still funny for me to think of myself as someone who writes historical fiction because it seems like a really fusty, musty term, and yet it clearly applies.

Susan Choi

I do believe that it's something that we don't talk about, but when there are clearly defined gender roles, it is much simpler. Because you don't have to think, which people apparently don't like to do.

Judy Gold

To describe something as being black and white means it is clearly defined. Yet when your ethnicity is black and white, the dichotomy is not that clear. In fact, it creates a grey area.

Evangeline Lilly

I think for business reasons, fiscal reasons, I think these cable networks can take greater risks and I think with a risk comes better programming. And I think USA has got an amazing identity to it now that is clearly defined with its 'Characters welcome' tag.

One writes not to be read but to breathe...one writes to think, to pray, to analyze. One writes to clear one's mind, to dissipate one's fears, to face one's doubts, to look at one's mistakes--in order to retrieve them. One writes to capture and crystallize one's joy, but also to disperse one's gloom. Like prayer--you go to it in sorrow more than joy, for help, a road back to 'grace'.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh

My music, I think, takes elements from a lot of different genres, progressive, electro but is still quite clearly defined as my sound.

Hardwell

I think there was a moment in the middle part of the century into the 60s, 70s when at least elite journalism claimed to be non-partisan. You can go back and look at it and wonder about how non-partisan it was.

William Kristol

If you are not making the progress that you would like to make and are capable of making, it is simply because your goals are not clearly defined.

Paul J. Meyer

With clearly defined roles and a focus on communication, it's much easier to make your company come across as well-organized and on top of things - because it actually is.

Kathryn Minshew

A writer is defined by the language in which he writes, and I would stick to that definition.

Joseph Brodsky

I like to think that we’re not defined by what happens to us…because so many times they’re beyond our control. I like to think that we’re defined by our choices and our decisions.

Elizabeth Smart

Everybody that writes has their own area of inquiry. And mine has always been kind of, why is it that when life can be so hard and difficult, we compound it by self-sabotage, doing terrible things? That's always been my main area of inquiry, and it does lead you to dark places.

Irvine Welsh
