I worry that people think you have to go to a university to be a good writer, which is categorically untrue. I don't think I learned how to write at Oxford. I did not go to any creative writing classes...

Quotes by Samantha Shannon

I know what I want to achieve in each book and the major points, but I don't plan right down to the chapters. I think that the characters write themselves in some degree.

Quotes by Samantha Shannon

I was a shy child, and when I was 13, I started wearing braces on my teeth. I used to be acutely self-conscious, and I think writing was a way of withdrawing into my own imagination.

Quotes by Samantha Shannon

Whenever anyone calls me 'The new J..K. Rowling,' I think, 'What's wrong with the old one?'

Quotes by Samantha Shannon

Rowling is a luminous storyteller. I love her sense of humor and the intricate wizarding world she built around Hogwarts. I think all writers aspire to be like her, to capture readers like she does. But I didn't think about...

Quotes by Samantha Shannon

J. K. Rowling is one of my favourite authors, and I really admire how she created this big wizarding world. But I think our books are very, very different, and I don't think there can be a next J. K....

Quotes by Sam Waterston

I think the bait for doing something really is always the part.

Quotes by Sam Waterston

I think of OkCupid as an online bar; a place where singles can go, have fun with each other and in the process hopefully meet new people, some of whom might turn into a romantic relationship.

Quotes by Sam Yagan

Quotes by Sam Yagan

We think that there really is racial bias in determining who people want to date.

Quotes by Sam Yagan

Because we're able to adjust for compatibility - and what that means is we've already normalized for how well we think each person is going to get along with the other person - the only factor left in determining response...

Quotes by Sam Yagan

I'm an off-the-charts introvert. To me, being around groups of strangers is exhausting. I've had to sort of train myself to think about two tactics: finding common ground and invoking humor.

Quotes by Sam Yagan

A lot of times people feel a little apprehensive about suggesting to actually meet in person. One of the reasons that can be hard is people think they have to propose something super novel.

Quotes by Sam Yagan

I like being part of a big company's executive team. It's fun to stretch other parts of my brain, considering questions like, 'How should we think of acquisitions?' I get to be privy to things that would never come up...

Quotes by Sam Yagan

Life is just a set of experiences. As long as there are new experiences for me in a corporate job, I don't think I have to be an entrepreneur.

Quotes by Sam Yagan

Quotes by Samaire Armstrong

I think people are able to relate to my appearance. They think of me as the girl next door.

Quotes by Samantha Akkineni

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of quotes are gathered on the "Think" page?
These are quotes centered on the word "think" — moments where someone shares a genuine belief or conviction, from big claims about humanity's future to firm opinions about technology, cryptography, and how networks might work going forward.
Are these opinions or facts?
They're personal opinions, presented as such — each one is introduced with "I think," so they read as one person's honest take rather than settled fact. That's part of what makes them interesting to quote: they capture conviction, not just information.
Can I use a "Think" quote to start a discussion?
Yes, that's one of the best uses for them. A strong opinion, clearly stated, is a natural conversation starter — whether you're debating technology, privacy, or bigger questions about the future. Pair it with something from Life quotes if you want to widen the discussion.
How does "Think" differ from <a href="/like-quotes">Like</a> quotes?
"Like" quotes tend to be about preference and comparison, while "Think" quotes are about belief and conviction — what someone holds to be true rather than what they enjoy.
What if I want something lighter than these quotes about cryptography and the future?
Try Good quotes or Love quotes for a softer, more everyday tone — the "Think" collection here leans more serious and idea-driven.
