Charles Evans HughesIt seemed to me at an early age that all human communication - whether it's TV, movies, or books - begins with somebody wanting to tell a story.

ThucydidesI think it's just yet another piece to cause confusion and I think that the 'so-called scientific debate' is very silly now - It's like a bunch of theologians arguing over how many angels you can stick on the head of a needle.

Thomas BrownePart of the pleasure of giving a reading comes from the rapport between the audience and the poet. I don't want to get mystical here, but there's an energy flow that begins with the poet, and the energy goes out to the audience, and they're energized, and then they return that energy to the poet. As someone standing up there alone, facing these people, I can feel that rapport (or its absence).

Rafael CorreaAs Sokrates tells it, your story begins the moment Eros enters you. That incursion is the biggest risk of your life.

You perceive what you are, what you lack, what you could be.

Ted DekkerAlmost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts. You need to start somewhere. Start by getting something-anything-down on paper. A friend of mine says that the first draft is the down draft-you just get it down. The second draft is the up draft-you fix it up. You try to say what you have to say more accurately. And the third draft is the dental draft, where you check every tooth, to see if it's loose or cramped or decayed, or even, God help us, healthy.
