Five exclamation marks, the sure sign of an insane mind.

Terry Pratchett

"Multiple exclamation marks," he went on, shaking his head, "are a sure sign of a diseased mind."

Terry Pratchett

And all those exclamation marks, you notice? Five? A sure sign of someone who wears his underpants on his head.

Terry Pratchett

Even as she'd been writing it, she wondered if she was using too many exclamation marks, but she was glad she left them in. Nothing says "all is good in the world" like exclamation marks, after all.

Derek Landy

I want to change my punctuation. I long for exclamation marks, but I'm drowning in ellipses.

Isaac Marion

I bet when all the punctuation marks have a party, they quietly look at exclamation point's wife and think, that poor woman.

Dana Gould

There are many things in this world that are an outrage, to be sure, but death at our current life expectancy doesn’t strike me as one of them. Maybe I sound like some Victorian who felt that forty years ought to be enough for any man, but one of the marks of a life well lived has to be reaching a state of finally getting it, of not needing more, and of being able to sign off with something approaching peace of mind.

David Rakoff

Gail Carriger

One of the marks of a life well lived has to be reaching a state of finally getting it, of not needing more, and of being able to sign off with something approaching peace of mind.

Those modern analysts, they charge so much! In my day, for five marks Freud himself would treat you. For ten marks he would treat you and press your pants. For fifteen marks Freud would let you treat him - that included a choice of any two vegetables.

Woody Allen

Cut out all these exclamation points. An exclamation point is like laughing at your own joke.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

People criticised me for using too many exclamation marks and the word 'awesome' too much, but that's just me.

Ella Woodward

Do we want blanks, asterisks and exclamation marks which people can fill in with their own imaginations, or are we prepared and strong enough to tolerate, even if we do not approve, the strong Anglo-Saxon, realistic and vivid language?

John Mortimer

I want to go home. Then he mentally underlined the last sentence three times, rewrote it in huge letters in red ink, and circled it before putting a number of exclamation marks next to it in his mental margin.

Neil Gaiman

The sign of vigour, the sign of life, the sign of hope, the sign of health, the sign of everything that is good, is strength. As long as the body lives, there must be strength in the body, strength in the mind, [and strength] in the hand.

Swami Vivekananda

So far as good writing goes, the use of the exclamation mark is a sign of failure. It is the literary equivalent of a man holding up a card reading LAUGHTER to a studio audience.

Miles Kington
