George Harrison quote: "It doesn't really matter what chords I play, what words I say..."

There it is; the light across the water. Your story. Mine. His. It has to be seen to be believed. And it has to be heard. In the endless babble of narrative, in spite of the daily noise, the story waits to be heard. Some people say that the best stories have no words. They weren't brought up to Lighthousekeeping.

Autobiography is not important. Authenticity is important. The writer must fire herself through the text, be the molten stuff that welds together disparate elements. I believe there is always exposure, vulnerability, in the writing process, which is not to say it is either confessional or memoir. Simply, it is real. Jeanette Winterson
Close the door. Write with no one looking over your shoulder. Don't try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It's the one and only thing you have to offer. Barbara Kingsolver
W. Somerset Maugham quote: "I always find it more difficult to say the things I mean than..."
I always find it more difficult to say the things I mean than the things I don't. W. Somerset Maugham
When he was a young man he prayed constantly for chastity; but years later he realized that while his lips had been saying 'Oh Lord, make me chaste,' his heart had been secretly adding, 'But please don't do it just yet. C. S. Lewis
Clive Cussler quote: "I must say one thing about southern down-home brewed coffee..."
I must say one thing about southern down-home brewed coffee with chicory. If you have worms, you'll never have them again. Clive Cussler
Virginia Woolf quote: "There is no doubt in my mind, that I have found out how to..."
There is no doubt in my mind, that I have found out how to begin (at 40) to say something in my own voice. Virginia Woolf
Henry Miller quote: "Everybody says sex is obscene. The only true obscenity is war."
Everybody says sex is obscene. The only true obscenity is war. Henry Miller
Perhaps I'm old and tired, but I always think that the chances of finding out what really is going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say hang the sense of it and just keep yourself occupied. Douglas Adams
If someone who wanted to learn to dance were to say: For centuries, one generation after the other has learned the positions, and it is high time that I take advantage of this and promptly begin with the quadrille--people would presumably laugh a little at him, but in the world of spirit this is very plausible. What, then, is education? I believed it is the course the individual goes through in order to catch up with himself, and the person who will not go through this course is not much...
