To create what it does, Hollywood has to draw young people, often of unstable temperment, from all over the world. It plunges them into exacting work---surrounds them with a sensuous life-- and cuts them off from the normal sources of living". Max Lerner
Every artist is linked to a mistake with which he has a particular intimacy. All art draws its origin from an exceptional fault, each work is the implementation of this original fault, from which comes a risky plenitude and new light. Maurice Blanchot

John Ruskin
She reaches in, digs her hand deep into the ball, and pulls out a slip of paper. The crowd draws in a collective breath, and then you can hear a pin drop, and I'm feeling nauseous and so desperately hoping that it's not me, that it's not me, that it's not me. Effie Trinket crosses back to the podium, smoothes the slip of paper, and reads out the name in a clear voice. And it's not me. It's Primrose Everdeen. Suzanne Collins
High technology has done us one great service: It has retaught us the delight of performing simple and primordial tasks - chopping wood, building a fire, drawing water from a spring Edward Abbey

No, scratch the word "career." Careers are for people who wish to advance. I only want to survive, draw a paycheck. Emily Giffin
Daphne du Maurier quote: "Why this man should love that woman, what queer chemical..."
Why this man should love that woman, what queer chemical mix-up in our blood draws us to one another, who can tell? Daphne du Maurier
The moral I draw is that the writer should seek his reward in the pleasure of his work and in release from the burden of thought; and, indifferent to aught else, care nothing for praise or censure, failure or success. W. Somerset Maugham
Jeanette Winterson quote: "When I say 'I will be true to you' I am drawing a quiet space..."
When I say 'I will be true to you' I am drawing a quiet space beyond the reach of other desires. Jeanette Winterson
This is the spot where I will lie When life has had enough of me, These are the grasses that will blow Above me like a living sea. These gay old lilies will not shrink To draw their life from death of mine, And I will give my body's fire To make blue flowers on this vine."O Soul," I said, "have you no tears? Was not the body dear to you?" I heard my soul say carelessly, "The myrtle flowers will grow more blue. Sara Teasdale
What did one see if one looked in any depth into the world of this writer's fiction? Elegant self-control concealing from the world's eyes until the very last moment a state of inner disintegration and biological decay; sallow ugliness, sensuously marred and worsted, which nevertheless is able to fan its smouldering concupiscence to a pallid impotence, which from the glowing depths of the spirit draws strength to cast down a whole proud people at the foot of the Cross and set its own foot... Thomas Mann

To be grateful is to recognize the Love of God in everything He has given us - and He has given us everything. Every breath we draw is a gift of His love, every moment of existence is a grace, for it brings with it immense graces from Him. Gratitude therefore takes nothing for granted, is never unresponsive, is constantly awakening to new wonder and to praise of the goodness of God. For the grateful person knows that God is good, not by hearsay but by experience. And that is what makes all... Thomas Merton
