"so full of shapes is fancy..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“That England, that was wont to conquer others,Hath made a shameful conquest of itself.”

“What is your substance, whereof are you made, That millions of strange shadows on you tend? Since everyone hath every one, one shade, And you, but one, can every shadow lend. Describe Adonis, and the counterfeit Is poorly imitated after you. On Helen’s cheek all art of beauty set, And you in Grecian tires are painted new. Speak of the spring and foison of the year; The one doth shadow of your beauty show, The other as your bounty doth appear, And you in every blessèd shape we know. In all external grace you have some part, But you like none, none you, for constant heart.”

“Listen to many, speak to a few.”

“He found himself wondering at times, especially in the autumn, about the wild lands, and strange visions of mountains that he had never seen came into his dreams.”

“I had the most magical childhood, running free and going anywhere I wanted to in my head.”

“Music gives wings to the mind and flight to the imagination.”

“Drama is the most difficult of all arts. In it two things are to be satisfied - first, the ears, and second, the eyes. To paint a scene, if one thing be painted, it is easy enough; but to paint different things and yet to keep up the central interest is very difficult. Another difficult thing is stage - management, that is, combining different things in such a manner as to keep the central interest intact.”

“Odd how the creative power at once brings the whole universe to order.”

“All there is to writing is having ideas. To learn to write is to learn to have ideas.”
