Doing You Quotes (page 331)

I like what I do. Some writers have said in print that they hated writing and it was just a chore and a burden. I certainly don't feel that way about it. Sometimes it's difficult. You know, you always have this image of the perfect thing which you can never achieve, but which you never stop trying to achieve. But I think ... that's your signpost and your guide. You'll never get there, but without it you won't get anywhere.[Interview with Oprah Winfrey, June 5, 2007] Cormac McCarthy
Rick Warren quote: "The key to friendship with God, he said, is not changing what..."
The key to friendship with God, he said, is not changing what you do, but changing your attitude toward what you do. Rick Warren
If you have character, endeavor, personality, courage and the capacity for concentrated labor, you will do what is your destiny? and, perhaps, even do it well. Ariel Durant
Life is about growth and change. When you are no longer doing that? that is your whisper; that is your whisper that you are supposed to do something else. Oprah Winfrey
John Wooden quote: "It isn't about what you do, but how you do it"
It isn't about what you do, but how you do it John Wooden
It is not what you do for your children, but what you have taught them to do for themselves that will make them successful human beings. Ann Landers
Theodore Roosevelt quote: "Whenever you are asked if you can do a job, tell 'em,..."
Whenever you are asked if you can do a job, tell 'em, 'Certainly I can!' Then get busy and find out how to do it. Theodore Roosevelt
Albert Einstein quote: "If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time..."
If you don’t have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over? Albert Einstein
Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks. Perhaps this person will never be disappointed or disillusioned; perhaps she won’t suffer the way people do when they have a dream to follow. But when that person looks back – and at some point everyone looks back – she will hear her heart saying, “What have you done with the miracles that God planted in your days? What have you done with the talents God bestowed on you? You buried yourself in a cave because you were fearful of losing those... Paulo Coelho
I would quit while you’re ahead. Really. It’s an awful field. Just torture. Awful. You write and you write, and you have to throw almost all of it away because it’s not any good. I would say just stop now. You don’t want to do this to yourself. That’s my advice to you. Philip Roth
Now, the error which many parents commit in the treatment of the individual at this time(adolescense) is, insisting on the same unreasoning obedience as when all he had to do in the way of duty was, to obey the simple laws of "Come when you're called," and "Do as you're bid!" But a wise parent humours the desire for independent action, so as to become the friend and adviser when his absolute rule shall cease. Elizabeth Gaskell
I swear to God I will never set eyes on him again. I bind my honour to you that I am done with him in this world. It is all at an end. And indeed he does not want my help; you do not know him as I do; he is safe, he is quite safe; mark my words, he will never more be heard of. ~Jekyll Robert Louis Stevenson
In order to be able to make it, you have to put aside the fear of failing and the desire of succeeding. You have to do these things completely and purely without fear, without desire. Because things that we do without lust of result are the purest actions we shall ever take. Alan Moore
Orison Swett Marden quote: "Believe with all your heart that you will do what you were..."
Believe with all your heart that you will do what you were made to do. Orison Swett Marden
Description is what makes the reader a sensory participant in the story. Good description is a learned skill, one of the prime reasons you cannot succeed unless you read a lot and write a lot. It's not just a question of how-to, you see; it's a question of how much to. Reading will help you answer how much, and only reams of writing will help you with the how. You can learn only by doing. Stephen King
