“Simply put, we have to be smart about how we use our power. Not because we have less of it indeed, the might of our military, the size of our economy, the influence of our diplomacy, and the creative energy of our people remain unrivaled. No, it's because as the world has changed, so too have the levers of power that can most effectively shape international affairs.” PeopleWorldUseMightEnergyEconomyCreativeInfluenceMilitaryChangedShapesSmartAffairInternationalSizeDiplomacyBeing SmartLeversCreative EnergyInternational Affairs Author:Hillary Clinton
“Roth Unbound is filled with intelligent readings and smart judgments. Because of the author's sympathy and sharp mind, it offers real insight into the creative process itself, and into Philip Roth's high calling as a great American artist. The book is, in some ways, a radical rereading of Roth's life and his work. It is impossible, by the end, not to feel a tender admiration for Roth as a novelist and indeed for Claudia Roth Pierpont as an empathetic and brilliant critic.” WayFeelsMindBookRealEndsArtistReadingProcessCreativeImpossibleCallingOffersJudgmentSmartIntelligentFilledCriticsInsightBrilliantRadicalNovelistsWorking ItAdmirationCreative ProcessGreat AmericanPhilipEmpatheticRereadingUnboundClaudia Author:Colm Toibin

“I think my love for books sprang from my need to escape the world I was born into, to slide into another where words were straightforward and honest, where there was clearly delineated good and evil, where I found girls who were strong and smart and creative and foolish enough to fight dragons, to run away from home to live in museums, to become child spies, to make new friends and build secret gardens.” ThinkingWorldNeedsChildrenBookEnoughHomeRunningGirlFightingEvilFoundStrongBornSecretCreativeHonestSmartGardenFoolishGood And EvilDragonsMuseumsRunning AwaySpySlidesStraightforwardNew FriendsAway From HomeSecret Garden Author:Jesmyn Ward
“Meaning and value depend on human mind space and the commitment of time and energy by very smart people to a creative enterprise.

“I kind of came from the Townes Van Zandt school of throwing yourself off a cliff and then that's what you write about, and that rule number one of creative writing is you have to have conflict. But if you write about yourself mostly, then if you don't have conflict, then you create it. And the older I get, the more I realize that that's not a very smart way to do this.
