Don't just get through the day, get FROM the day
A novel is never anything, but a philosophy put into images.
Disgust and resolve are two of the great emotions that lead to change.
Language designed to impress builds a gulf. Language to express builds a bridge.
One of the major reasons why people are not doing well is because they keep trying to get through the day. A more worthy challenge is to try to get from the day.
Look at each day as a chance to invest life into life. A chance to share your experience and deposit it into someone else's conscience. Each day is a chance to work miracles in the lives of others.
