What I think I do is to relate any new material to how similar it is to something else. The closest that I can come up with something that’s already in my experience, the easier it becomes.

The flower draws its life energy from the soil and from the sun. We are very similar. We continuously receive energy from the earth through our feet and from the air. Energy is everywhere, like love. We just have to open ourselves up to receive it Picture Quote #1

So what I am always looking for is, I’m always looking for something that that person has told me that nobody else has told me. It is normally not an opinion, and it is normally not a philosophy.

Is it a coincidence that stories from the private life became more popular just as the grand hope for public redemption through revolution was beginning to sour? I witnessed a similar shift in taste in my own time. In the 1960s, while a hopeful vision of a just society arose again, countless poems and plays concerning politics and public life were written, read, and performed. But after the hope diminished and public life seemed less and less trustworthy, this subject was less in style Picture Quote #1

Chess is similar to boxing. You need to develop a strategy, and you need to think two or three steps ahead about what your opponent is doing. You have to be smart. But what’s the difference between chess and boxing? In chess, nobody is an expert, but everybody plays. In boxing everybody is an expert, but nobody fights Picture Quote #1

Advice? Focus on the craft. Study the greats. Try and understand how and why they made the writing choices they did. Then, start by copying them... just as an exercise.

Learn to color within the lines before going outside them Picture Quote #1

We must practice modesty, not only in our looks, but also in our whole deportment, and particularly in our dress, our walk, our conversation, and all similar actions Picture Quote #1

Discovery can give no right of ownership, for whatever is discovered must have been already here to be discovered. If a man makes a wheelbarrow, or a book, or a picture, he has a moral right to that particular wheelbarrow, or book, or picture, but no right to ask that others be prevented from making similar things. Such a prohibition, though given for the purpose of stimulating discovery and invention, really in the long run operates as a check upon them Picture Quote #1

We look so very different from the way we sound. It’s a shock, similar to hearing your own voice for the first time, when you’re forced to wonder how the rest of you comes across if you sound nothing like the way you think you sound. You feel dislodged from the old shoe of yourself Picture Quote #1

Creativity is, in a sense, future memory Picture Quote #1

Nature and education are somewhat similar. The latter transforms man, and in so doing creates a second nature Picture Quote #1

Chess is a very positive way to exercise your mind. It makes you look at the whole picture... what are your options and what is the best thing to do? In football, you are mostly reacting from a defensive point of view... but you always want to be counterattacking... a similarity with chess strategy. Chess and offensive football are quite similar; you sacrifice something now to get something back later Picture Quote #1
