I'm an artist by trade and an author by necessity.

Kadir Nelson

People only accept change when they are faced with necessity, and only recognize necessity when a crisis is upon them.

Jean Monnet

The author of the Mahabharata has not established the necessity of physical warfare; on the contrary he has proved its futility.

Mahatma Gandhi

When you want to put something into your part that is not in the play, you must ask the author-or some other author-to lead up to the interpolation for you. Never forget that the effect of a line may depend not on its delivery, but on something said earlier in the play, either by somebody else or by yourself, and that if you change it, it may be necessary to change the whole first act as well.

George Bernard Shaw

It is conceivable that what is unified form to the author or composer may of necessity be formless to his audience.

Charles Ives

Tackling climate change is not a luxury for the good times: for good and bad times it has become a necessity - but necessity is the mother of invention.

Ed Davey

There is change by necessity or adaptation, and there is contrived change or novelty.

Wendell Berry

Manhood begins when we have in any way made truce with Necessity; begins even when we have surrendered to Necessity, as the most part only do; but begins joyfully and hopefully only when we have reconciled ourselves to Necessity; and thus, in reality, triumphed over it, and felt that in Necessity we are free.

Thomas Carlyle

Any book on empire will omit, by necessity, vast tracts of the imperial experience, and so critics can easily find facts and details to contradict an author's bold generalisations.

Kwasi Kwarteng

Necessity is an evil; but there is no necessity for continuing to live subject to necessity.

Epicurus

I have never admitted the right of an elderly author to alter the work of a young author, even when the young author happens to be his former self.

George Bernard Shaw

I didn't understand in the beginning that the editor didn't want me to know the author. I'd make an effort to meet the author, but it would end up being a disaster because then I had the author telling me what I should be doing.

Peter Sis

Boredom, not the will, is the mother of change. Necessity is the father.

Mason Cooley

That's the most terrible thing about being an author - standing there at your mother's funeral, but you don't switch the author off. So your own innermost thoughts are grist for the mill. Who was it said - one of the famous lady novelists - 'unhappy is the family that contains an author'?

Terry Pratchett

It can be a necessary conceptual truth that pains are painful without this ruling out the physicalist thesis that immaterial minds are impossible or the thesis that conscious states supervene on physical states. The necessity involved in these claims is nomological necessity, not metaphysical necessity (assuming that these are different).
