The pen is very quick for getting stuff from your brain to the page. I can do hieroglyphics in the margin. There are days when I really enjoy the flow of ink. I mean, nice pen, ink straight on to the page.

The life of each and every one of us has been written. The crucifix is my autobiography. The blood is the ink. The nails the pen. The skin the parchment. On every line of that body I can trace my life. In the crown of thorns I can read my pride. In the hands that are dug with nails, I can read avarice and greed. In the flesh hanging from him like purple rags, I can read my lust. In feet that are fettered, I can find the times that I ran away and would not let him follow. Any sin that you can think of is written there.
One drop of hatred in your soul will spread and discolor everything like a drop of black ink in white milk.
When I was at school, I used to end every school day with fountain pen ink all over my hands and face and down my shirt.
I'm not a writer. I marvel at writing. I am sometimes absolutely astounded when I read something and I think how in the world did that man or that woman sit down at a typewriter, a computer or a pen and an ink well, and seemingly have nothing come between their heart and that pen.

I dip my pen in the blackest ink, because I'm not afraid of falling into my inkpot.
Don't write with a pen. Ink tends to give the impression the words shouldn't be changed.
In autumn, when the leaves are brown,
Take pen and ink, and write it down.
