The things we see every day are the things we never see at all. Gilbert K. Chesterton
At this rate, I'd be lucky if I wrote a page a day. Then I knew what the problem was. I needed experience. How could I write about life when I'd never had a love affair or a baby or even seen anybody die? A girl I knew had just won a prize for a short story about her adventures among the pygmies in Africa. How could I compete with that sort of thing? Sylvia Plath

I thought I'd begin by reading a poem by Shakespeare, but then I thought, why should I? He never reads any of mine. Spike Milligan
Raymond Chandler quote: "Technique alone is never enough. You have to have passion...."
Technique alone is never enough. You have to have passion. Technique alone is just an embroidered potholder. Raymond Chandler
There have been men before? who got so interested in proving the existence of God that they came to care nothing for God himsel? as if the good Lord had nothing to do but to exist. There have been some who were so preoccupied with spreading Christianity that they never gave a thought to Christ. C. S. Lewis
Breathing, for example, was never taken for granted, since, half the time, thanks to the many chemical works and refineries, it was nearly impossible. Mark Helprin
