morning thinking yesterday
We're all fools," said Clemens, "all the time. It's just we're a different kind each day. We think, I'm not a fool today. I've learned my lesson. I was a fool yesterday but not this morning. Then tomorrow we find out that, yes, we were a fool today too. I think the only way we can grow and get on in this world is to accept the fact we're not perfect and live accordingly.
writing bad-word billions
It takes writing a billion bad words before you get to the good ones.
writing ignorance way
I came on the old and best ways of writing through ignorance and experiment and was startled when truths leaped out of brushes like quail before gunshot.
running sleep writing
You grow ravenous. You run fevers. You know exhilarations. You can't sleep at night, because your beast-creature ideas want out and turn you in your bed. It is a grand way to live.
space forever want
Space travel is life-enhancing, and anything that's life-enhancing is worth doing. It makes you want to live forever.
writing light white
Let the world burn through you. Throw the prism light, white hot, on paper.
beautiful book musical
I love the musical form of books. It's a different way of doing things, it's very beautiful. You're able to sing things instead of saying them. So what the heck - why not do them?
hate party thinking
I hate all politics. I don't like either political party. One should not belong to them - one should be an individual, standing in the middle. Anyone that belongs to a party stops thinking.
writing-every-day next world
May you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.
teaching lessons never-forget
If God treats you well by teaching you a disastrous lesson, you never forget it.
confidence courage travel
You've got to jump off cliffs and build your wings on the way down.
running dream morning
I wake up in the morning and I lie in bed, and it's the time I call "the theater of morning." All these thoughts run around in my head, between my ears when I'm waking up. It's not a dream state, but it's not completely awake either. So all these metaphors run around and then I pick one and I get out of bed and I do it. I'm very lucky.
running book people
There is more than one way to burn a book. And the world is full of people running about with lit matches.
space individuality dinosaurs
I have never listened to anyone who criticized my taste in space travel, sideshows or gorillas. When this occurs, I pack up my dinosaurs and leave the room.
