Craftsmanship isn't like water in an earthen pot, to be taken out by the dipperful until it's empty. No, the more drawn out the more remains.

You know how chickens are, imagining the world coming to an end one moment, then pecking corn the next.

I think imagination is at the heart of everything we do. Scientific discoveries couldn't have happened without imagination. Art, music, and literature couldn't exist without imagination. And so anything that strengthens imagination, and reading certainly does that, can help us for the rest of our lives.

Behind one truth there is always yet another.

The journey is the treasure.

Neither refuse to give help when it is needed,... nor refuse to accept it when it is offered.

We hold each other's lives in our open hands, not in clenched fists.
