The forms of things unknown and the the poet’s pen

And as imagination bodies forth

The forms of things unknown, the poet’s pen

Turns them to shapes and gives to airy nothing

A local habitation and a nam
William Shakespeare (from A Midsummer Night’s Dream)
Literature is nothing but carpentry.

Ultimately, literature is nothing but carpentry. With both you are working with reality, a material just as hard as wood.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Just follow your hero

First, find out what your hero wants, then just follow him!

Ray Bradbury
Take chances

Get it down. Take chances. It may be bad, but it’s the only way you can do anything really good.
William Faulkner
There are only two or three human stories

Isn’t it queer: there are only two or three human stories, and they go on repeating themselves as fiercely as if they had never happened before; like the larks in this country, that have been singing the same five notes for thousands of years.

Willa Cather
