“Seorang perempuan yang jatuh cinta, kadang punya tujuan yang ingin direngkuhnya. Namun, ternyata proses mewujudkannya terasa lebih menyenangkan ketika hanya dibayangkan. Karena, ada dua versi dari orang yang dicintainya; sosok asli dengan karakter pribadinya, dan sosoknya dengan karakter yang si perempuan ciptakan sesuka hati. Maka, banyak orang yang kecewa dengan karakter asli pasangannya, sebab membandingkannya dengan versi pikirannya sendiri.”

“Seorang tukang tak akan bisa membikin gedung, kalau alatnya seperti semen, batu tembok dan lain-lain tidak ada. Seorang pengarang atau ahli pidato, perlu akan catatan dari buku musuh, kawan ataupun guru. Catatan yang sempurna dan jitu bisa menaklukan musuh secepat kilat dan bisa merebut permufakatan dan kepercayaan yang bersimpati sepenuh-penuhnya. Baik dalam polemik, perang-pena, baik dalam propaganda, maka catatan itu adalah barang yang tiada bisa ketinggalan, seperti semen dan batu tembok buat membikin gedung. Selainnya dari pada buat dipakai sebagai barang bahan ini, buku-buku yang berarti tentulah besar faedahnya buat pengetahuan dalam arti umumnya.”

“Separate from the other unnamed billions who walk the earth, each of these little groups of three or five or twelve, brought together by the shuffle of chance, then welded by blood, sees in itself the whole of earth, or all that matters of it. What happens to one of the three or five or twelve will happen to them all. Whatever grief or triumph may touch any one will touch every one, as they are carried forward into the unknowable under the brilliant, terrifying sun which nourishes all.”

“Separate out the creative act from the act of editing and execution. Make it a two-step process. First, let ideas flow and encourage EVERY idea to make it to the whiteboard. Don't criticize, judge, edit, budget, or worry. An idea on the wall can't hurt anyone, so let them rip without restriction. After any and all ideas have the opportunity to "come out to play", only then should you apply your analytical and logical side to the effort. Don't mix the creative process with the editing process or you'll kill your ideas before they even get a fighting chance.”

“Separate yourself from your ideas and your work and see them as something separate from yourself, you’ll feel you truly have the right to be wrong. If an idea fails, why not let it be the idea’s fault instead of your own? Allow your ideas to fail without turning them into personal defeat. When you fail you discover your boundaries. You map out the edges of your capabilities. And this allows you to eventually move beyond them. Being wrong eventually leads to being right. And even where it doesn’t, it’s still a more interesting path than being nothing.”

“Separated lovers cheat absence by a thousand fancies which have their own reality. They are prevented from seeing one another and they cannot write; nevertheless they find countless mysterious ways of corresponding, by sending each other the song of birds, the scent of flowers, the laughter of children.”

“Separating fact and fiction in Inca history is impossible, because virtually all the sources available are Spanish accounts of stories that had already been vetted by the Inca emperors to highlight their own heroic roles. Imagine a history of modern Iraq written by Dick Cheney and based on authorized biographies of Sadam Hussein published in Arabic, and you'll get some idea of what historians face.”

“Separation happens in so many different dimensions. We see it everywhere. I believe we are all part of the spiritual heart. We all come from that place of oneness, so that place in us that knows love, that knows connection, hurts. It's a challenge that we also feel more than any other time because it's in the news and social media. It's in our families. There is division with people in our lives, as well as political division and religious division.”
