And they need to know and to apply the principles of successful innovation.

Ha JinI have friends who are capable of writing a very rough draft and then going back and embroidering - they're sort of the cathedral builders of fiction.

The best ones, whatever I feel like I'm writing about, some other secret thing will begin to come into focus.
Karen RussellI never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself.

David HumeTo me, a witch is a woman that is capable of letting her intuition take hold of her actions, that communes with her environment, that isn't afraid of facing challenges.
Paulo CoelhoLife appears: a complex dampness, destined to an intricate future and charged with secret virtues, capable of challenge and creation. A kind of precarious slime, of surface mildew, in which a ferment is already working. A turbulent, spasmodic sap, a presage and expectation of a new way of being, breaking with mineral perpetuity and boldly exchanging it for the doubtful privilege of being able to tremble, decay, and multiply.

Obert C. TannerHappiness lies outside yourself, is achieved through interacting with others. Self-forgetfulness should be one's goal, not self-absorption.

Jackie HugginsThere's an all-enveloping destructiveness in Donald Trump's character and in his psychological tendencies. But I've focused on what professionally I call solipsistic reality. Solipsistic reality means that the only reality he's capable of embracing has to do with his own self and the perception by and protection of his own self. And for a president to be so bound in this isolated solipsistic reality could not be more dangerous for the country and for the world. He's not psychotic, but I think ultimately this solipsistic reality will be the source of his removal from the presidency.

The strength and the limits of man
