First,
I do not sit down at my desk to put into verse
something that is already clear in my mind. If it
were clear in my mind, I should have no incentive or
need to write about it. We do not write in order to
be understood; we write in order to understand.
-- Robert Cecil
Day-Lewis
1904-1972, Irish Poet
The
whole difference between construction and creation
is this; that a thing constructed can only be loved
after it is constructed; but a thing created is
loved before it exists.
-- Charles Dickens
1812-1870, British
Novelist
It's
like driving a car at night. You never see further
than your headlights, but you can make the whole
trip that way.
-- E. L. Doctorow
1931-, American
Novelist
Creativity is essentially a lonely art. An even
lonelier struggle. To some a blessing. To others a
curse. It is in reality the ability to reach inside
yourself and drag forth from your very soul an idea.
-- Lou Dorfsman
