“When I'm creating characters, I definitely think of theme songs. Writing for me is very visual, so I sometimes think of it in terms of a movie with a soundtrack, and try to transfer that to words.” ThinkingWritingTryingSometimesCharacterSongTermCreatingThemeVisualsTransfersSoundtracksCreating Characters Author:Marisha Pessl

“Advertising tries to stimulate our sensuous desires, converting luxuries into necessities, but it only intensifies man's inner misery.

“It's not enough to shelve your own competitive streak. You have to try, consciously, to help others succeed. Some people feel this is like shooting themselves in the foot - why aid someone else in creating a competitive advantage? I don't look at it that way. Helping someone else look good doesn't make me look worse. In fact, it often improves my own performance, particularly in stressful situations.” PeopleWayFeelsTryingLooksEnoughFactsHelpingMy OwnSituationFeetSucceedCreatingAdvantagePerformancesCompetitionAidsHelping OthersShootingStressfulStreaksCompetitive AdvantageHelping SomeoneStressful Situations Author:Chris Hadfield

“For me, the best characters are the ones that feel fully formed inside and out, so I try to have a very clear vision of exactly what they would wear, top to bottom, who they are, what their backstory is, what their family situation is, who are their friends, just creating as much of a three-dimensional character [as possible]. Because I think you could do a very broad character, but as long as there's some emotional truth to them you can get away with really crazy things.” ThinkingFeelsTryingLongCharacterThreeSituationVisionClearCrazyEmotionalCreatingBottomGet AwayBroadsCrazy ThingsClear VisionBest Character Author:Nick Kroll
“I feel that non-violence is really the only way that we can follow because violence is just so self-defeating. A riot ends up creating many more problems for the negro community than it solved. We can through violence burn down a building, but you can't establish justice. You can murder a murderer, but you can't murder murder through violence. You can murder a hater, but you can't murder hate. And what we're trying to get rid of is hate, injustice, and all of these other things that continue the long night of man's inhumanity to man.” MenWayFeelsTryingLongEndsSelfProblemNightHateCommunityJusticeViolenceBuildingCreatingMurderInjusticeMurdererRiotNon ViolenceInhumanityLong NightsInhumanity To Man Author:Martin Luther King, Jr.
