Quotes about sudden


1. The sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar which the ultimate fulfillment of that hope never entirely removes.
- Thomas Hardy

2. I would say just start writing. You've got to write every day. Copy someone that you like if you think that perhaps could become your sound, too.

- Elmore Leonard

3. Writing a song is much like being an author. Yes, we all have tools to write (everyone has a brain I hope!), but that doesn't all of a sudden make us best selling authors.
- Ken Hill
