“The city's the best gallery I could imagine. I would never have to make a book and then present it to a gallery and let them decide if my work was nice enough to show it to people.

“It starts with the writing. We have to think of all these characters - we have to treat them all equally. We have to think of them as having an interior life and having motivations. When I'm drawing female characters, I'm looking for that. I'm looking for subtext. I'm looking for ways to make the reader relate to them in a way that goes beyond the pure aesthetic value. You know, just drawing an attractive woman really gets kind of boring after a while.” ThinkingKnowsWayWritingKindBookCharacterMotivationValuesReaderPureFemaleTreatsBoringDrawingComicRelateAttractiveAestheticComic BookInteriorsFemale CharactersSubtextAttractive Woman Author:Cliff Chiang
“You could be beaten down by anybody and by everybody and it doesn't matter what everybody else thinks it's how you see yourself and what your own dreams are.

“I always resist seeing my own personal motivation in my work, but I guess it must be there on some level. And I do feel very much that my life follows the kinds of things I talk about in my books.

“Ron Karenga wrote a book back in 1968, and in that book, he said that the reason, part of his motivation for starting Kwanzaa was because he felt that Christianity was the white man religion, and he didn't like Jews, and so he made up this lie. And he called it an African holiday because he was concerned that if he didn't call it an African holiday, that black Americans would not participate in it.” IfsMenMadeSaidBookReasonLyingMotivationFeltBlackWhiteChristianityConcernedStartingJewHolidayWhite ManKwanzaa Author:Tucker Carlson
“Popular success is a wonderful gift if it happens, but like money, it's not the motivation. The effort to create a work of art that is true and potentially lasting, that is the very best work of art you can create at that point in your life - a book that may only reach or move a few people but will seem to people somehow transformative. That's the ideal; that's always the motivation.” PeopleArtBookMovingMotivationEffortWonderful Author:Claire Messud
“The business schools could do a better job teaching face-to-face management, the actual work of organizing and helping along the efforts of others in the organization. The more quantitative disciplines have gotten more attention, often more research dollars. Areas like organizational science or, even mushier, leadership have had more trouble settling on what it's important to teach, and how. It's rather like strategy itself, which as I argue in the book, has had trouble through most of its history figuring out how to incorporate people, their motivation and ability, into its calculations.” PeopleImportantBookHelpingSchoolMotivationAbilityEffortAttentionTeachTroubleTeachingDisciplineManagementStrategyArguingSettlingOrganizational Author:Walter Kiechel

“At difficult times of my life, books have been an incredible comfort. When I was 12, I changed schools and my parents split up. It was then that I became addicted to reading. A great writer can attach themselves to your mind and heart, and you feel you understand the world better. As long as you have the capacity to read, you needn't be alone any more. I remember thinking as a child, "If I could give one person the comfort I keep getting from books, then I want to write."” IfsThinkingWorldWantGivingFeelsWritingMindHeartChildrenPersonsLongHas BeensArtBookSchoolRememberMotivationReadingParentDifficultChangedComfortCapacityIncrediblesIf I CouldSplitsHeart And MindDifficult TimesGreat WritersTime Of My Life Author:Elliot Perlman
