Brian K. VaughanJust as anyone who listens to the muse will hear, you can write out of your own intention or out of inspiration. There is such a thing. It comes up and talks.

Sara QuinThe number one thing I am earnestly attracted to is intelligence. Writers are thus the pinnacle of intelligence.

William S. BurroughsWhile almost all men feel an attraction drawing them to society, few are attracted strongly to Nature. In their reaction to Naturemen appear to me for the most part, notwithstanding their arts, lower than the animals. It is not often a beautiful relation, as in the case of the animals. How little appreciation of the beauty of the landscape there is among us! We have to be told that the Greeks called the world Kosmos, Beauty, or Order, but we do not see clearly why they did so, and we esteem it at best only a curious philological fact.
Henry David ThoreauMany men I come across see women in an antagonistic way, and it's always the basis for a bad relationship.

Eric RipertWhen you start in the childhood period, when you begin to form a comic sense, it was the radio comedians - from the last days of radio and the first days of television. And Spike Jones.

Jane AddamsThere is no quality that we respond to in another that we lack. It might be hidden behind some bad behavior or an old, outdated shadow belief that says we are the exact opposite of what we are seeing in the other person.

Tom FordMy parents said I'd always been attracted to music from an early age. The classic story is I started singing before I talked.

The words would be all garbled, because I didn't know how to talk yet.
Vienna TengMy studies have shown that the process of falling into mature love happens in four steps. When you meet a woman, you subconsciously look for cues that she's the kind os person you should be with. That's assumption. If she passes the assumption test, you begin to get to know her to find out if she's appropriate for you. If she is, you're attracted. If, as you get to know her, the attraction is reinforced with joy or pain or both, you'll fall into infatuation. And if you manage to make a connection and attach to each other during infatuation, you'll move into mature, unconditional love.
Jennifer CrusieI don't think about competition. I am definitely attracted to not just playing a regular character - I don't know there's any such thing as "regular.

That's what I wanted; I wanted to play someone that was a challenge.

Cassandra ClareWe are the country that has attracted the biggest volume of foreign investment in southeastern Europe in the past few years. Romania doesn't need to beat itself, believing that it is a second-class citizen.
Traian BasescuWe can begin a discussion of artmaking by noting that from very early (as long ago as 200,000 years), humans have been naturally attracted to the extraordinary as a dimension of experience and that at some point they seem also to have been moved to make the ordinary extraordinary-that is, to shape or elaborate everyday, mundane reality and thereby transform it into something special, different from the everyday.
