MAY I QUOTE YOU:

"I'm relatively convinced that in a past life I was Walter Mitty." --Carol St. Ann

"Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with, it's a toy and an amusement; then it becomes a mistress, and then it becomes a master, and then a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him out to the public." --Winston Churchill, British orator, author, and prime minister during World War II. 1874-1965

"I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world." - Albert Einstein

"The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense." -- Tom Clancy.

"I don't want to be studied in English classes. I want to be read." -- Tim O'Brien.

"The fact is that writing can be done only during the time when one ought to be doing something else." Isabel Paterson

"None of us will ever accomplish anything excellent or commanding except when he listens to this whisper which is heard by him alone." – Ralph Waldo Emerson

"We don't see things as they are, we see things as we are." -- Attributed to Anais Nin, French-born American writer, 1903-1977.

"Live out of your imagination, not your history." --Stephen Covey

"I am a storyteller. The type that went from place to place, gathered people in the square and transported them, inspired them, woke them up, shook their insides around so that they could resettle in a new pattern, a new way of being. It is a tradition that believes that the story speaks to the soul, not the ego... to the heart, not the head. In today’s world, we yearn so to ’understand’, to conquer with our mind, but it is not in the mind that a mythic story dwells." —Donna Jacobs Sife

"There is no agony like bearing an untold story inside of you." —Maya Angelou

"A people are as healthy and confident as the stories they tell themselves. Sick storytellers can make nations sick. Without stories we would go mad. Life would lose it’s moorings or orientation….Stories can conquer fear, you know. They can make the heart larger. —Ben Okri

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes."– Marcel Proust

"The highest reward for a person's toil is not what they get for it, but what they become by it." -- John Ruskin

"I like writing in the first person. You can put a lot of yourself into the story." --Sophie, (age 9)

"My stories live robustly in my head. I can hear the noises, smell the smells, and imagine the landscapes. If only I had the courage to make them hit the page as powerfully as they affect my psyche, I'll have to work on that!" - Nate WDC

"The best way to predict the future is to create it." --Peter Drucker

"The longer I live, the more beautiful life becomes." --Frank Lloyd Wright

"Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand." –- Alexander Graham Bell

"Writing is a socially acceptable form of Schizophrenia." --unknown
