  1. The only thing I hate about the structure of the sentence is the period. It’s nonchalant. It’s casual. It’s ordinary. I wish I could end my sentences with explosions. I wish I could end them with feathers. Anything but this drab old period. A dot to end the profundity of a human thought. Aristotle had to use periods. Aristotle needed more than periods.

    A single sentence is not enough.

  3. A sentence is a sentence is a sentence to death if you forget to use a noun.

    Jack Whaley
  4. Life is not a sentence. Life is an education, a chance for liberation, a chance for the expansion of consciousness and the end of seeming duality.

    Bruce Godden
  5. A professor at my university recently published a humor column about ridiculous statements in student papers: “These Sentences Should Be Sentenced.” The column ran in the school paper and contained two typographical errors.

  6. I’ve never written a complete sentence. All of my sentences never seem to have that sense of finality that most complete sentences should have. They’re all fragments and pieces. Unfinished. Unraveling. Those sentences need to be dealt with.

  7. this is my time. this is what what I have to do. I don’t like it, and I don’t understand it, but I know that I deserve it. now I just need to learn how not to

  8. sentence. I wonder why I’d write a sentence about a sentence. I looked at it for too long and forgot how to spell it. Odd how that works. Amazing how the mind warps under pressure, under the influence of a lack of time. I find I don’t have any more to say. I think sentence is a word without a connotation; you can’t infer any feeling from it. Time is almost up.

  9. A sentence is a very important tool for writing. Without it, your thoughts become rambling and disjointed. Can you imagine life without sentences? When would you know the other person was done talking? We’d all be leaving in the middle of the other person talking because, like, how do you know they’re done?

  10. I have to write a sentence. Death sentence? Is that spelled differently? My back hurts. Ya know, I’m on this week long juice fast. What else. My birthday’s soon. I love Max von Sydow. Oh shit it’s turning red. Yeah shit. oh fuck. mhhfhfhfh. Claire Lucido Yes thats me

  11. A sentence is a collection of words that doesn’t need to make sense. A sentence can also be a jail term. A collection of sentences makes up a paragraph. This sentence I am writing now may not get finished.

    Danny Brown
  12. The perfect sentence is often hard to come up with. There’s always so much to say and so many ways to phrase what needs to be said. What if I don’t choose the right words? What if I don’t get across what I wanted?

    Sammy Hall
  13. Typing of a sentence. It is the structure and foundation of all language. Without a complete thought verbs and adjectives fly alone. Without the sentence pronouns aren’t pro’s anymore. Without sentence structure falls apart and life goes by the wayside. The sentence is green. The sentence is plentiful. Lets make a sentence today!

    Daniel Cunningham
  14. What is a sentence? A sentence is a mixture of many words, placed so that it has logical meaning. A sentence is comprised of many parts, most of which are not thought about when writing. For example, sentences are made of nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc. A sentence is made of clauses, which are made of subjects and predicates. As confusing as this may be, I’m still writing as though the parts of a sentence have no importance. And yet, they have a great importance.

  15. there are many words in a sentence, or sometimes not many. the things that can be said in a sentence are endless. Words can flow out of you like river flowing from a mountain spring. A sentence can be about anything. it can be about love. It can be about hate. The time it takes to write a sentence, youve said everything you need to say.

  16. these things are too long. when the wordcs come forward, the punctuation just stopped everything like gravel on a freeway traffic arrest. The trucks of my fingers run out of diesel and the way that I want to push gthe keys further and further up the ramp pf this laptop surface makes me realize that the sentence itself is no more than a lane in the highway. What is a line?

  17. there are only so many sentences possible. yet i have never run out of them. but somewhere in the back of my mind i fear the day i have expressed every possible thought in my brain. a few moments ago i sent a rather unwitty message to a girl with whom i have a good track record of wit and am ashamed, i ran out of sentences i guess.

  18. I find myself in incomplete. Never quite. Just the substance of what.

    Crawford
  19. I don’t like the word sentence. I can never think of the proper sentences to say at given moments. I’m always stuttering, or speaking in short, awkward, nonsensical fragments. It makes me cringe. I think I’m more eloquent on paper than I am with speaking. Sentence. Ugh. I’m not sure what else to say. That timing bar is making me nervous for some reason.

  20. A sentence is like a whole string of words all together and what you’re going to be spending the rest of your life serving.
    Because it doesn’t just end with a period, or an elipsis or an exclamation or a question mark.
    Well, maybe it ends with a question mark.
    I don’t really know.
    Nobody really knows…
    But hey, just the same, you shouldn’t have done it. And now you know.

    Jon Furniss
  21. A sentence, the building blocks upon which novels, plays, and stories are built upon. The utmost important of a sentence in the English language, is like oxygen to humans.

    Manuel Fernandez
  22. GO.
    A one word sentence.

    Simple and commanding. True and understood.
    I am a one word sentence.
    I am it.

  23. I guess it was a long time before I realized that my teacher had been staring at my for the last five minutes. Did we have an assignment I didn’t hear her mention? Turning about the classroom, I observed as every student around me scribbled furiously on their papers. A paper with thirty-seven sentences due by the end of class. I got to work.

  24. Sentences are the structure of paragraphs which create novels which transform the minds of millions. Sentences are the structure of writing. They can be simple. They can be long and ridiculous. They can be phenomenally mind blowing. They can create perceptions and destroy them as well.

    Karissa
  25. sentences are about whatever you’re trying to construct and whatever it is you’re trying to construct it is the manifestation of whatever it is that has accumulated within you over years of experience, heartache and random foundry lined up for you to discover yourself and bla and bla and bla and womens panties in vending machines.

  26. the last sentence that i read was in my philosophy book. It was plato. I am not a big fan of Plato, but realize that he is indeed a great philosopher, and questions my own religious preference.

    Chris Axelrod
  27. Sentances are overrated. I really hate them. They make me think of words, and word counts, and then they make me think of my Journalism 200 class. This class was hell. I had to write and write. But I loved it. Which sounds screwed up. But it’s true. Ahhhhhh!!!!

  29. sentence is a composition of words that mean nothing and everything at the same time, our expression on this here earth but we cannot possibily express what we do not know yet, and if we know we express in other ways, but at the same time words can be the most powerful form of expression, how bittersweet and wonderful this world that we are and we continue to be forever. we are the universe always and forever, to remain a part

  30. How many sentences can I fit into this little exercise? How about a life sentence? A cell full of writing, imagine that. A life behind bars, and the only freedom is my pen and paper. Perhaps I’ll dream my way out, waking up…awakening.

    Sarah Supernova
  31. Ha. This is a very self-involved word to write about. Sentence?

    Unless of course, one thinks of a sentence in relationship to things like “life in prison” or “death.” Those sentences carry a little more weight, I would say.

  32. construction of thoughts use commas, periods.
    things of this nature, they can be all so very very fun. i like them, in fact i like them a whole lot. i use them daily

  34. focus only on what you can control and ignore any thing else.

  35. A sentence is a line of words flowing out of the mind of the author. It is the length of time a prisoner must endure. Some people are prisoners of a writers words, the sentence is boredom.

    Calvin
  36. one sentence
    is all we have: it is a life sentence.

    to live in the air, the water, on earth.

    your crumbling stare has decreed,
    that death walks beside you.

    as you give your all, and learn to fall.
    and stumble upon this world.

    as your sentence is… executed.
    and you learn to breath again.

  39. Sentences are the windows to ones soul. They make you express what you long to say and hear. they are a water of words that embrace the soul. Let them fill your empty spaces with loving strokes.
