Rob Lowe Quotes

Try to be one of the people on whom nothing is lost!

All the technique in the world doesn't compensate for the inability to notice.

I think inspiration is always around; it's just a question of whether or not you're noticing it.

Henry James claim that if you want to be a novelist you should be somebody on whom nothing is lost.

You see, but you do not observe.

Writers, some of us, may tend to see things before other people do, things that are right there but aren't noticed in the way that a writer might notice.

All there is to thinking is seeing something noticeable, which makes you see something you weren't noticing, which makes you see something that isn't even visible.

I guess I'm a very keen observer, and I'd like to think I have a good imagination.

I got a great imagination, and I pay close attention to my surroundings and I'm very observant.

Everything is surprising, rightly seen.

To look at a thing is very different from seeing it.

You don't know, but I'm noticing.

The more you look, the more you see.

The real heroes anyway aren't the people doing things; the real heroes are the people NOTICING things, paying attention.

The more you look, the more you will see.

A writer, I think, is someone who pays attention to the world.

We are all too much inclined, I think, to walk through life with our eyes shut. There are things all round us and right at our very feet that we have never seen, because we have never really looked.

I observe a lot. I see a lot around me.

As a rule, I always look for what others ignore.

“How ever did you see that?” “Because I looked for it.”

It doesn't really matter who said it - it's so obviously true. Before you can write anything, you have to notice something.

I learned to observe the world around me, and to note what I saw

Another thing all writers have in common is we're all observers. We pay attention to detail.

You have to be able to observe life as if you were a camera all the time, constantly looking at light and the way that things are placed and the way people hold themselves. You need the ability to see something in someone or something that no one else really sees and be able to bring that to light. Basically, you have to be an obsessive crazy person.

In naming that which is right before me, that which I'd otherwise miss, the invisible becomes visible.
