The other mammoths were as protective of the dying as they were of newborns, and they gathered around tying to make the fallen one get up. When all was over, they buried the dead ancestor under piles of dirt, grass, leaves, or snow. Mammoths were even known to bury other dead animals, including humans. Jean M. Auel

Wallace Stegner
Let's get one thing clear right now, shall we? There is no Idea Dump, no Story Central, no Island of the Buried Bestsellers; good story ideas seem to come quite literally from nowhere, sailing at you right out of the empty sky: two previously unrelated ideas come together and make something new under the sun. Your job isn't to find these ideas but to recognize them when they show up. Stephen King
Confucius quote: "If you make a mistake and do not correct it, this is called a..."
If you make a mistake and do not correct it, this is called a mistake. Confucius
A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master... Elizabeth Gilbert
George Lucas quote: "The ability to speak does not make you intelligent."
The ability to speak does not make you intelligent. George Lucas
Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "I am not absentminded. It is the presence of mind that makes..."
I am not absentminded. It is the presence of mind that makes me unaware of everything else. Gilbert K. Chesterton
George Orwell quote: "It was like trying to make a move at chess when you were..."
It was like trying to make a move at chess when you were already mated. George Orwell
You want to be a hero,” he repeated. “You want to be one of those rare human beings who make history, rather than merely watch it flow around them like water around a rock. Dan Simmons
