The human mind is a story processor, not a logic processor.

Jonathan Haidt

I use emacs, which might be thought of as a thermonuclear word processor.

Neal Stephenson

Walt Mossberg

When you're writing, it's a very solitary job. It's you and your word processor and a cup of tea.

Paul W. S. Anderson

The beauty of word processing, God bless my word processor, is that it keeps the plotting very fluid. The prose becomes like a liquid that you can manipulate at will. In the old days, when I typed, every piece of typing paper was like cast in concrete.

Sue Grafton

I do write my manuscripts by hand, in pencil on legal pads. Then they are typed on a word processor by my typist.

Nelson DeMille

The more you read, the less apt you are to make a fool of yourself with your pen or word processor.

The last time somebody said, 'I find I can write much better with a word processor.', I replied, 'They used to say the same thing about drugs.'

Roy Blount, Jr.

The Apple IIc, with its 128KB of RAM, 125KB floppy drive, word processor, and spreadsheet application, did everything I could imagine a computer doing at the time.

Andrew Rosenthal

Poetry isn't an efficient tool for preserving experience, any more than it's an efficient mode of communication, but who says that it should be efficient?

James Arthur

Fairness is an efficiency parameter if we look at the whole global civilization. It is not an efficient way of meeting human needs if one billion people starve while another billion have excess. It would be more efficient to distribute resources so that at least vital needs were met everywhere. Otherwise, for example, if kids are starving somewhere, dad goes out to slash and burn the rain forest to feed them - and so would I if my kids were dying. And this kind of destruction is everyone's problem, because we live in the same ecosphere.
