“Not only do these abominable weapons lie buried in silence and in their millions waiting to kill or maim innocent women and children; but the presence or even the fear of the presence of a single landmine can prevent the cultivation of an entire field, rob a whole village of its livelihood, place yet another obstacle on a country's road to reconstruction and development” ChildrenCountryWholeLyingWaitingSilenceMillionsFieldsDevelopmentWeaponsObstaclesInnocentVillageBuriedLivelihoodCultivationReconstructionLandmines Author:Kofi Annan
“We teachers can only help the work going on, as servants wait upon a master.

“After the first shock of recognition - a sudden sense of "this is what I'm going to write" - the novel starts to breed by itself; the process goes on solely in the mind, not on paper. I feel a kind of gentle development, an uncurling inside, and I know that the details are there already, that in fact I would see them plainly if I looked closer, but I prefer to wait until what is loosely called inspiration has completed the task for me.” IfsKnowsFeelsWritingMindFirstsKindFactsInspirationWaitingProcessNovelGoes OnDevelopmentPaperTasksDetailsRecognitionGentleShock Author:Vladimir Nabokov
“I guess the hard part is more in the development stage when we're writing it. The logic is hard. You come up with a great idea and you get all excited that it's going to work and then you go down two hours and then one guy turns to everyone and goes, 'Wait, that makes absolutely no sense because if he was there, then this wouldn't have happened, then this,' and it completely implodes.” IfsWritingTwoIdeasHardGuyTurnsWaitingHoursHappenedStageDevelopmentLogicCome UpExcitedGoing To WorkGreat Idea Author:Dean Israelite
“If the kingdom of God had departments, we’d want to work in research and development. We felt like Jesus didn’t hang out at the synagogue, he hung out at wells. Coffeehouses are postmodern wells.

“I'm working with wind, solar, and biofuels companies as well as with organizations like ACORE [American Council On Renewable Energy], Growth Energy, and AREDAY to raise public awareness and seek practical technological solutions to reduce our reliance on fossilized carbon.

“Stand alone books are nice because they have everything all in one tidy little package. Neverwhere was awesome because you get action, adventure, character development, the exploration of a strange world, PLUS resolution of all the problems and mysteries at the end. No lines no waiting.

Multi-volume stories are satisfying too, just in a different way.” WorldWayLittlesBookDifferentEndsCharacterStoriesProblemActionWaitingLinesNiceMysteryStrangeAdventureDevelopmentDifferent WaysPlusResolutionExplorationSatisfyingVolumePackagesStand AloneCharacter DevelopmentTidyStrange World Author:Patrick Rothfuss

“What else can I tell you? It seems to me that everything has its proper emphasis; and finally I want to add just one more bit of advice: to keep growing, silently and earnestly, through your whole development; you couldn't disturb it any more violently than by looking outside and waiting for outside answers to questions that only your innermost feeling, in your quietest hour, can perhaps answer.” WantWholeFeelingsSeemsBitsWaitingHoursAnswersGrowingAdviceDevelopmentAddJust OneEmphasis Author:Rainer Maria Rilke
