“In our time ... a man whose enemies are faceless bureaucrats almost never wins. It is our equivalent to the anger of the gods in ancient times. But those gods you must understand were far more imaginative than our tiny bureaucrats. They spoke from mountaintops not from tiny airless offices. They rode clouds. They were possessed of passion. They had voices and names. Six thousand years of civilization have brought us to this.” MenYearsPassionWinningNamesVoiceEnemyCivilizationThousandOfficeSixAncientCloudsTinyOur TimeSpokesPossessedThousand YearsBureaucracyImaginativeBureaucratsAncient TimesFaceless Author:Chaim Potok
“Is it just or reasonable, that most voices against the main end of government should enslave the less number that would be free? more just it is, doubtless, if it come to force, that a less number compel a greater to retain, which can be no wrong to them, their liberty, than that a greater number, for the pleasure of their baseness, compel a less most injuriously to be their fellow-slaves. They who seek nothing but their own just liberty, have always right to win it and to keep it, whenever they have power, be the voices never so numerous that oppose it.” IfsShouldEndsGovernmentWould BeWinningForceVoicePleasureNumbersLibertyGreaterFellowsSlaveReasonableBaseness Author:John Milton

“It's great to win a few prizes early on. It helps a writer to get noticed and to get some sales. It can also be a pain in the arse because it gets in the way of the quiet, contemplative time every writer needs, but which is particularly important when you are a new writer finding your own voice, and pursuing the things that interest you.” WayNeedsImportantHelpingPainWinningVoiceInterestQuietFindingsPrizeContemplativeArses Author:Jeanette Winterson
