“To try to save for everyone, for the hostile and independent as well as the committed, some of the health that flows down across the green ridges from the skyline, and some of the beauty and spirit that are still available to any resident of the valley who has a moment and the wit to lift up his eyes unto the hills.” TryingWellsStillsMomentsEyeSpiritFlowIndependentGreenCommittedAvailableWitHillsLiftsHis EyesValleysHostileResidentsRidgesSkylines Author:Wallace Stegner
“With ordinary men the moments which are united in a close continuity out of the original discrete multiplicity are very few, and the course of their lives resembles a little brook, whereas with the genius it is more like a mighty river into which all the little rivulets flow from afar; that is to say, the universal comprehension of genius vibrates to no experience in which all the individual moments have not been gathered up and stored.” MenLittlesMomentsCoursesIndividualUnitedGeniusOrdinaryFlowRiversUniversalOriginalsContinuityComprehensionBrooksMultiplicityAfarOrdinary ManVibrateDiscrete Book:Sex & Character Source: Sex & Character

“In playwriting, you've got to be able to write dialogue. And if you write enough of it and let it flow enough, you'll probably come across something that will give you a key as to structure. I think the process of writing a play is working back and forth between the moment and the whole. The moment and the whole, the fluidity of the dialogue and the necessity of a strict construction. Letting one predominate for a while and coming back and fixing it so that eventually what you do, like a pastry chef, is frost your mistakes, if you can.” IfsThinkingGivingWritingEnoughPlayWholeMomentsAbleProcessMistakeKeysFlowStructureDialogueConstructionChefStrictComing BackBack And ForthFixingFrostPastriesFluidityPlaywritingPastry Chef Author:David Mamet
“The stream of thought flows on; but most of its segments fall into the bottomless abyss of oblivion. Of some, no memory survives the instant of their passage. Of others, it is confined to a few moments, hours or days. Others, again, leave vestiges which are indestructible, and by means of which they may be recalled as long as life endures.” MayMeanLongMomentsFallHoursMemoriesFlowEndureInstantStreamsPassagesAbyssOblivionConfinedIndestructibleNo Memory Book:The Principles of Psychology Source: The Principles of Psychology
