“A lot of my clients say they don't deserve to mope about their sad little memories while children are starving in India.

If you want to help the Indian children, or make the world a better place in any other way, you have to start by becoming whole yourself.”

This book is about becoming a writer from the inside out. Many later advice manuals derive from it. You don't really need any others, though if you want to boost your confidence, "how to" books seldom do any harm. You can kick-start a whole book with some little writing exercise.”

And number two, they spent eight months avoiding finding opposition research to use against the guy who was becoming the front-runner in their party that they don`t want.”
