“Everybody should do in their lifetime, sometime, two things. One is to consider death...to observe skulls and skeletons and to wonder what it will be like to go to sleep and never wake up-never. That is a most gloomy thing for contemplation; it's like manure. Just as manure fertilizes the plants and so on, so the contemplation of death and the acceptance of death is very highly generative of creating life. You'll get wonderful things out of that.” ShouldTwoSleepWonderWonderfulAcceptanceCreatingWake UpPlantLifetimeContemplationTwo ThingsWonderful ThingsGoing To SleepSkullsGloomySkeletonsManureCreating LifeAcceptance Of Death Author:Alan Watts

“Creating the characters is the most creative part of the novel except for the language itself. There I am, sitting in front of my computer in right-brain mode, typing the things that come to mind - which become the seeds of plot. It's scary, though, because I always wonder: Is it going to be there this time?” MindCharacterLanguageBrainWonderNovelCreativeFrontsComputerCreatingSittingScarySeedsPlotTyping Author:Elizabeth George
“Given that the dreaming brain must perform these remarkable contortions - creating a world, living in it, responding to it, and then carefully blocking all the responses in a manner that does not cross the threshold of awareness - it is no wonder that this dreaming brain seems to be more active than the waking brain.” WorldDoeDreamSeemsGivenBrainWonderAwarenessCreatingCrossesResponseActiveBlockRemarkableWakingRespondingThreshold Book:The sleepwatchers Source: The sleepwatchers
“If I'm creating a new superhero, it shouldn't be any different from other superheroes in terms of the qualities. Obviously the personality can be different. I think traditionally in comics women have tended to be a girlfriend or the daughter of whoever, whether it's even Batgirl as Gordon's daughter, or whatever. There is that relation of the hero, you know, like Superman's cousin, Supergirl. And that's great. It's fantastic to have a link to these amazing characters, but I kind of like the idea of things being something in their own right, which is why I've always loved Wonder Woman.” IfsThinkingKnowsKindIdeasDifferentCharacterTermQualityWonderPersonalityHeroCreatingDaughterRelationFantasticGirlfriendLinksSuperheroCousinWonder WomanSupergirl Author:Mark Millar
