Reading is thinking with someone else's head instead of ones own. Arthur Schopenhauer
This is the time for every artist in every genre to do what he or she does loudly and consistently. It doesn't matter to me what your position is. You've got to keep asserting the complexity and the originality of life, and the multiplicity of it, and the facets of it.

Herman Hesse quote: "One must find the source within one's own Self, one must..."

Mostly, we authors must repeat ourselves - that's the truth. We have two or three great and moving experiences in our lives - experiences so great and moving that it doesn't seem at the time anyone else has been so caught up and so pounded and dazzled and astonished and beaten and broken and rescued and illuminated and rewarded and humbled in just that way ever before. Then we learn our trade, well or less well, and we tell our two or three stories - each time in a new disguise - maybe ten... F. Scott Fitzgerald
When you sit down to write, write. Don't do anything else except go to the bathroom, and only do that if it absolutely cannot be put off. Stephen King
Steve Jobs quote: "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's..."
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Steve Jobs
But I have learned that you make your own happiness, that part of going for what you want means losing something else. And when the stakes are high, the losses can be that much greater. Emily Giffin
Elizabeth Gilbert quote: "The act of quiet nighttime talking, illustrates for me more..."
The act of quiet nighttime talking, illustrates for me more than anything else the curious alchemy of companionship. Elizabeth Gilbert
After dinner or lunch or whatever it was -- with my crazy 12-hour night I was no longer sure what was what -- I said, "Look, baby, I'm sorry, but don't you realize that this job is driving me crazy? Look, let's give it up. Let's just lay around and make love and take walks and talk a little. Let's go to the zoo. Let's look at animals. Let's drive down and look at the ocean. It's only 45 minutes. Let's play games in the arcades. Let's go to the races, the Art Museum, the boxing matches. Let's... Charles Bukowski

And Eddie found a certain love with Margurate, a grateful love, deep but quite love, one that he knew, above all else , was irreplaceable. Once she'd gone, he'd let the days go stale. He put his heart to sleep Mitch Albom
