Author Quotes

“A book can be a great friend, an advisor, a means to an end. A book reveals so much more than a movie would ever do. For example, when I watched the movie “The Hours” I was fascinated by the story. Just a year later I decided to read the book. And what was my surprise that I was even more dazzled by its writings than I was by the images… The images in my head were more vivid than the film could ever transport me to that feminine universe that the author was trying (and so successfully granted me) to conceive…”

“We always want to hold on tight to those we love; but if we intend to keep those we love, we must let go every once in awhile.”

“Live your life in such a way that you'll be remembered for your kindness, compassion, fairness, character, benevolence, and a force for good who had much respect for life, in general.”

“It is usually unbearably painful to read a book by an author who knows way less than you do, unless the book is a novel.”

“I write because the security of your love allows me to develop my craft without concerning myself with trivialities — as if your love could be any more complete. But I write, in the first place, because of you, my muse. I write for your green eyes to glance at my humble words and for the pleasure of hearing you utter them.”

“I've written you sixty-seven love poems. Here’s another one for you. But really, for me. These poems are the candles that I light with the fire you have ignited in me. I place this candle here and another there so even if the stars have argued with the moon and are sulking away in a corner, you can still find your way to me. Sixty-eight poems now. What does the future hold for us? Joy? Disappointment? Gentle caresses? And subtle neglect? I hope the good is more than the bad. Much more. For what is the point of love if by lighting these candles our own flame loses its brightness? I know the good is more than the bad. Much more. I cannot wait to write you sixty-nine.”

“Caution not spirit, let it roam wild; for in that natural state dance embraces divine frequency.”

“Through synergy of intellect, artistry and grace came into existence the blessing of a dancer.”

“Although my road to writing seems like it may have come easily, there were a few bumps in that road. I didn’t get a lot of encouragement from friends, although my family were great supporters. I also had many…what you would call “mind-boggling” moments, when I would doubt myself and what I was writing. It has been said that we, ourselves, are our own worst critics. All the hard work had payed off though, and I created a children’s book that I am proud of, and an unforgettable little girl that will touch the hearts of many.”-Nina Jean Slack”

“Life is an affair of mystery; shared with companions of music, dance and poetry.”

“All I need to do is place my pen against paper and your love writes for me.”

“Now is not the time for bigots and racists. No time for sexists and homophobes. Now, more than ever, is the time for ARTISTS. It’s time for us to rise above and to create. To show humanity. To spread hope. We must prevent society from destroying itself, from losing its way. Now is the time for love.”

“Capture my heart and my mind. Become my ultimate challenge, greatest vexation, strongest desire, and most precious blessing.”

“Always write exactly what you’re feeling at the exact moment when writing something like poetry or an emotional novel. Put yourself, pour all emotions into your work…make yourself cry, feel joy if you are writing joyful things, feel lovey if it calls for it…just put your heart and soul into all that you do…then you will be a good writer when you can make whoever reads your work, feel." -Nina Jean Slack”

“It's easier said than done but when you feel yourself out of balance within, stop in that present moment and catch your breathe. Remind yourself of 5 things, that help you feel most alive and re-centre your own energy frequency so you can continue living out of your intentions not the world's distractions.”

“In the Light of your Wisdom, You Shine. In the Midst of your Truth, Your Faith is Evident. From inside your Spirit, You are Love.”

“Dig Deep! When the task at hand seems to be very difficult. Dig Deep! Whenever you feel you're drifting away from your intended course. Dig Deep! When others doubt you and say it can't be done. Dig Deep! Whenever you feel like giving up. Dig Deep! When life throws you a curve ball. If you quit, you'll never hit that homerun”

“Bagaimana Anda bisa menciptakan lautan air mata? Sesendok saja pun rasanya tidak mungkin. Bukankah Anda telah berbohong? Ya, saya memang telah berbohong, kata penyair itu setuju dengan pendapatku. Semua kita ini para pembohong. Berlindung di balik kata imajinasi dan metafora-metafora kebohongan. Kebohongan adalah kebohongan. Berbohong dan imajinasi itu sama. Berbohong adalah berimajinasi. Oleh sebab itu aku menangis dalam sujud panjangku yang khusyuk, di depan Kabah itu, memohon ampun dari dosa-dosa berbohong. Meminta pengampunan kepada Allah. Tak ada jalan lain untuk menghapus dosa selain meminta pengampunan dari-Nya. Walau keudian aku akan kembali berbohong. Karena itu adalah profesiku. Berbohong untuk sesuap nasi. Tak ada jalan lain kecuali menciptakan kebohongan.”

“Orang itu mengaku seorang pengarang yang selama hidupnya telah menciptakan kebohongan-kebohongan. Imajinasi adalah kebohongan untuk diri sendiri, katanya, mengucapkan makna yang tak kumengerti. Begitu imajinasi dituturkan ataupun dituliskan dan didengar atau dibaca orang lain, kita telah menciptakan kebohongan-kebohongan kepada orang lain. Cerita pendek, novel, puisi, dan karangan fiksi lainnya adalah kebohongan. Kebohongan yang nikmat. Tetapi mereka tidak mau akui kebohongan mereka dan dengan cerdiknya mereka berlindung di balik kata imajinasi. Padahal sesungguhnya tidak ada Sukri membawa pisau belati. Tidak ada wanita muda yang menanggalkan satu per satu pakaiannya dan berkata, maukah kau menghapus bekas bibirnya di bibirku dengan bibimu? Bohong semua itu.”

“I write romance stories and although I want it to be a beautiful work of art, I am afraid that I will live in the story I created in my mind. It's all in my mind I know, but sometimes, the romance becomes too ideal and realistic for me that I soon fall for the hero that was just a product of my imagination. I think that is both an fearful obstacle and a proof that somehow, you are succeeding to touch a reader's heart - even if it is yours.”
