“Solitude with God is a place for pregnancy. Solitude is also a place to receive great ideas and creative ideas from God. The power of imagination is strongest in the place of solitude.”

“Run! Go perfect your crafts. Run! Go use your creativity.”

“When you address and acknowledge unpleasant realities, your creativity begins to soar and you come up with apparently magical solutions to problems.”

“Eventually, you get tired of seeing mediocre talent succeed, so you work as hard as they do.”

“Design your belief for higher purpose and values. Articulate and communicate your belief energy. Belief energy is the core of leadership and success. ”

“Successful people do what they love, not what they are told to do.”

“His body and his soul appeared to have the strange ability to repel the hours, just as, inversely, a magnet attracts metal. Everything spun about him and fled; he was always the sole centre of an enormous circumference. He kept moving forwards, body and soul, in the hope of coming close to what fled at his approach. The same thing happened with time – his position remained constant in relation to the thing which, however hard he tried to clasp it to him, stole away from him and bounded into the distance. He was the one who had no incriminating papers in his drawers, who could show his diary to anyone. He was a creator. Perhaps that was why his life did not exist”

“Creativity is the residue of time wasted.”

“The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.”

“The writer’s curse is that even in solitude, no matter its duration, he never grows lonely or bored.”

“Editors can be stupid at times. They just ignore that author’s intention. I always try to read unabridged editions, so much is lost with cut versions of classic literature, even movies don’t make sense when they are edited too much. I love the longueurs of a book even if they seem pointless because you can get a peek into the author’s mind, a glimpse of their creative soul. I mean, how would people like it if editors came along and said to an artist, ‘Whoops, you left just a tad too much space around that lily pad there, lets crop that a bit, shall we?’. Monet would be ripping his hair out.”

“… The Book is more important than your plans for it. You have to go with what works for The Book ~ if your ideas appear hollow or forced when they are put on paper, chop them, erase them, pulverise them and start again. Don’t whine when things are not going your way, because they are going the right way for The Book, which is more important. The show must go on, and so must The Book.”
