  • Writing in a journal is just a stall, a waiting game, a way to tell yourself that you're working when you're not, that you're doing something of value when you're just using up paper, that you're a writer when in fact you're just going through the motions of one. Look at me! I have blank paper in front of me-and now I'm filling it, with words!

    Writing   Games   Waiting  
    Robert Masello (2005). “Robert's Rules of Writing”, p.12, Writer's Digest Books

    Animal   Roots   Body

Now that TV's so good and the Internet is an endless forest of distraction, it's damn near impossible. That should be taken into account when ranking the all-time greats. Somebody like Charles Dickens, for example, who had nothing better to do except eat mutton and attend public hangings, should get very little credit.

    Pain   Taken   Writing

    FaceBook post by Haruki Murakami from Jun 12, 2015

    Ideas   Long   Niche  
    "The Cat Who Walks Through Walls". Book by Robert A. Heinlein, chapter 18, p. 230, 1985.
  • Live. How many of us need to be reminded that living has nothing to do with trying to be as good as someone else, or trying to fit into some category, or filling in the blanks on some stupid checklist. That it has nothing to do with punishing yourself for past mistakes.

    Mistake   Stupid   Past  
    Suzanne Selfors (2010). “Coffeehouse Angel”, p.252, Bloomsbury Publishing USA
  • I think you just assume that your memory is just sort of a video playback of your experience, but it's nothing like that at all. It's a complete refabrication of an event and a lot of it is made up, because you're filling in spaces.

    "Charlie Kaufman: A true original". www.today.com. March 18, 2004.
  • She either confused me with a much older child or else she glimpsed deep inside my soul and perceived a hole that needed filling. I've always chosen to believe the latter. After all, it's the librarian's one sworn purpose to bring books together with their one true reader.

  • It's a transformative experience to simply pause instead of immediately filling up space.

    Pema Chodron (2000). “When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times”, p.46, Shambhala Publications

    Kiera Cass (2014). “The Selection Series 3-Book Collection: The Selection, The Elite, The One, The Prince, The Guard”, p.20, Harper Collins
