More on Creativity
“If there had been a censorship of the press in Rome we should have had today neither Horace nor Juvenal, nor the philosophical writings of Cicero.”
“A reason I became a writer was to escape the hopelessness and despair of the real world and enter the world of hope I could create with my imagination.”
“Odd how the creative power at once brings the whole universe to order.”
More on Training
“To expect ... the same service from raw and undisciplined recruits, as from veteran soldiers, is to expect what never did and perhaps never will happen. Men, who are familiarized to danger, meet it without shrinking; whereas troops unused to service often apprehend danger where no danger is.”
“I think sometimes the best training is to rest.”
“Boards don't hit back.”
