The word experience is like a shrapnel shell, and bursts into a thousand meanings.

Men of genius are often dull and inert in society as the blazing meteor, when it descends to earth, is only a stone.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

They don't have intelligence. They have what I like to call 'thintelligence.' They see the immediate situation. They think narrowly and they call it 'being focused.' They don't see the surround. They don't see the consequences. That's how you get an island like this. From thintelligent thinking.

Michael Crichton

While I know myself as a creation of God, I am also obligated to realize and remember that everyone else and everything else are also God's creation.

Maya Angelou

Denver is home to me, and to be recognized for my achievements in the sports community here is a great honor.

There is then creative reading as well as creative writing. When the mind is braced by labor and invention, the page of whatever book we read becomes luminous with manifold allusion. Every sentence is doubly significant, and the sense of our author is as broad as the world.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it.

Hannah Arendt

The true art of memory, is the art of attention

Samuel Johnson

The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.

James Allen

Politics in a literary work, is like a gun shot in the middle of a concert, something vulgar, and however, something which is impossible to ignore.

Stendhal
