"An idea comes as near to something..." - Quote by Robert Frost

“We ran as if to meet the moon.”

“The ear is the only true writer and the only true reader. I know people who read without hearing the sentence sounds and they were the fastest readers. Eye readers we call them. They get the meaning by glances. But they are bad readers because they miss the best part of what a good writer puts into his work.”

“Have courage and a little willingness to venture and be defeated.”

“Everything worthwhile is a good idea, but did you ever notice there is more bad ideas that will work than there is good ones?”

“there was no crime in unconscious plagiarism; that I committed it everyday, that he committed it everyday, that every man alive on earth who writes or speaks commits it every day and not merely once or twice but every time he open his mouth… there is nothing of our own in it except some slight change born of our temperament, character, environment, teachings and associations”

“Ideas are the very coinage of your brain.”

“The poet, as everyone knows, must strike his individual note sometime between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five. He may hold it a long time, or a short time, but it is then that he must strike it or never. School and college have been conducted with the almost express purpose of keeping him busy with something else till the danger of his ever creating anything is past.”

“How many times have people used a pen or paintbrush because they couldn’t pull the trigger?”

“I like my quiet time. There is a writer's sensibility in me sometimes, where I step back.”
