"Trying to write is very much like..." - Quote by Helen Keller

“Toleration is the greatest gift of the mind.”

“My darkness has been filled with the light of intelligence, and behold, the outer day-lit world was stumbling and groping in social blindness.”

“I, who have never heard a sound, tell you there is no silence, and I, who have never seen a ray of light, tell you there is no darkness.”

“Always stop for the day while you still know what will happen next.”

“There are a lot of wonderful women writers who would be good influences on writers. You've got to spread yourself out and educate yourself with all kinds of stories.”

“In all love stories the theme is love and tragedy, so by writing these types of stories, I have to include tragedy.”

“When your fulfillment and sense of self are no longer dependent on the future outcome, joy flows into whatever you do. You do what you do because the action itself is fulfilling. Whatever you do or create in that state is of high quality. This is because it is not a means to an end, and so a loving care flows into your doing.”

“Imagination is greater than knowledge.”

“The moment our discourse rises above the ground-line of familiar facts, and is inflamed with passion or exalted thought, it clothes itself in images. A man conversing in earnest, if he watch his intellectual processes, will find that always a material image, more or less luminous, arises in his mind, contemporaneous with every thought, which furnishes the vestment of the thought.... This imagery is spontaneous. It is the blending of experience with the present action of the mind. It is proper creation.”
