“It is an object of vast magnitude that systems of education should be adopted and pursued which may not only diffuse a knowledge of the sciences but may implant in the minds of the American youth the principles of virtue and of liberty and inspire them with just and liberal ideas of government and with an inviolable attachment to their own country.” ShouldMindMayIdeasCountryGovernmentEducationLibertyPrinciplesVirtueObjectsYouthInspireAttachmentAdoptedPursuedMagnitudeImplantsAmerican Youth Author:Noah Webster
“Consider the Koran... this wretched book was sufficient to start a world-religion, to satisfy the metaphysical need of countless millions for twelve hundred years, to become the basis of their morality and of a remarkable contempt for death, and also to inspire them to bloody wars and the most extensive conquests.

“Whatever the source of the leader's ideas, he cannot inspire his people unless he expresses vivid goals which in some sense they want. Of course, the more closely he meets their needs, the less "persuasive" he has to be, but in no case does it make sense to speak as if his role is force submission. Rather it is to strengthen and uplift, to make people feel that they are the origins, not the pawns, of the socio-political system.” PeopleIfsThinkingWantNeedsFeelsDoeIdeasPoliticalCoursesSpeakForceGoalLeaderRolesCasesInspireSourceUpliftingMake SenseSubmissionVividPolitical SystemsPawnsPersuasive Author:David McClelland

“I think the stage is set for the appearance of new faiths, centred on the UFO belief. To a greater degree than all phenomena modern science is confronting, the UFO can inspire awe, the sense of the smallness of man, and an idea of the possibility of contact with the cosmic. The religions we have briefly surveyed began with the miraculous experiences of one person, but to-day there are thousands for whom the belief in otherworldly contact is based on intimate conviction, drawn from what they regard as personal contact with UFOs and their occupants.” ThinkingMenPersonsIdeasBeliefGreaterModernStagePossibilityInspireDegreesRegardConvictionAppearanceContactIntimateAweCosmicMiraculousUfoConfrontingModern ScienceSmallness Author:Jacques Vallee
“I write very raw, ugly, illiterate first drafts very quickly (novels are always in first draft in under a year) and then I spend years and years fine-tuning, revising, editing, etc. What inspires me? Who knows. I am not inspired that much. That’s why I write long form fiction - I am not much of a short story writer. Ideas come seldom, but when a good one comes, I really stick to it and see it out. I’m a problem-solver - I've never thrown out an entire manuscript; I've always forced myself to repair it until it was a lovable thing again.” KnowsWritingYearsFirstsLongIdeasStoriesProblemFormFictionNovelInspireFineSticksInspiredUglyThrownEtcShort StoryEditingManuscriptsIlliterateLovableTuningRevisingStory WritersProblem SolversFine Tuning Author:Porochista Khakpour
