The principle goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done; men and women who are creative, inventive and discoverers, who can be critical and verify, and not accept, everything they are offered. ↗
On writing, my advice is the same to all. If you want to be a writer, write. Write and write and write. If you stop, start again. Save everything that you write. If you feel blocked, write through it until you feel your creative juices flowing again. Write. Writing is what makes a writer, nothing more and nothing less. --- Ignore critics. Critics are a dime a dozen. Anybody can be a critic. Writers are priceless. ---- Go where the pleasure is in your writing. Go where the pain is. Write the book you would like to read. Write the book you have been trying to find but have not found. But write. And remember, there are no rules for our profession. Ignore rules. Ignore what I say here if it doesn't help you. Do it your own way. --- Every writer knows fear and discouragement. Just write. --- The world is crying for new writing. It is crying for fresh and original voices and new characters and new stories. If you won't write the classics of tomorrow, well, we will not have any. Good luck. ↗
Look," Grace said. "How strange! In spite of the rain, you can still see the stars. How bright they are tonight." She pointed, but Lorcan didn't look. His eyes remained fixed intently on her. "I can't think of a finer sight in the whole world than the one I'm looking at right now," he said. In spite of being drenched, Grace flushed at his words. Lorcan's eyes sparkled at her, brighter than ever before. It was as if the rare blue gems of his iriseshad been washed by the rain amd buffed by the moonlight to a new intensity. "Grace, there's been something I've wanted to do for a very long time now, but things have kept getting in the way." He reached forward, bringing a hand to the side of her face. Then he gently but firmly drew her wet face toward his. He gazed at her, as if seeing her for the first time. Then he brought his soft lips down to hers and kissed her. ↗

Begini cara kerja sesuatu yang engkau sebut cinta; Engkau bertemu seseorang lalu perlahan-lahan merasa nyaman berada di sekitarnya. Jika dia dekat, engkau akan merasa utuh dan terbelah ketika dia menjauh. Keindahan adalah ketika engkau merasa ia memerhatikanmu tanpa engkau tahu. Sewaktu kemenyerahan itu meringkusmu, mendengar namanya disebut pun menggigilkan akalmu. Engkau mulai tersenyum dan menangis tanpa mau disebut gila. Berhati-hatilah…. Kelak, hidup adalah ketika engkau menjalani hari-hari dengan optimisme. Melakukan hal-hal hebat. Menikmati kebersamaan dengan orang-orang baru. Tergelak dan gembira, membuat semua orang berpikir hidupmu telah sempurna. Sementara, pada jeda yang engkau buat bisu, sewaktu langit meriah oleh benda-benda yang berpijar, ketika sebuah lagu menyeretmu ke masa lalu, wajahnya memenuhi setiap sudutmu. Bahkan, langit membentuk auranya. Udara bergerak mendesaukan suaranya. Bulan melengkungkan senyumnya. Bersiaplah… Engkau akan mulai merengek kepada Tuhan. Meminta sesuatu yang mungkin itu telah haram bagimu. ↗
PERCAKAPAN DUA RANTING kalau pernah kamu bertemu dulu, apa yang kau inginkan nanti? sepi. kalau nanti kau dapatkan cinta, bagaimana kau tempatkan waktu? sendiri. bila hari tak lagi berani munculkan diri, dan kau tinggal untuk menanti? cari. andai bumi sembunyi saat kau berlari? mimpi. lalu malam menyer- gapmu dalam pandang tiada tepi? hati. baik...aku tak lagi memberimu mungkin? kecuali. baik..baik, aku hanya akan menya- pamu tanpa kecuali? mungkin. dan jika tetap seperti itu, embun takkan jatuh dari kalbumu? sampai. akankah kau patahkan tubuhmu hingga musim tiada berganti? mari. lalu kau tumbuhkan bunga tanpa kelopak tanpa daun berhelai-helai? kemari. juga kau benamkan yang lain dalam jurang di matamu? aku. katakan bahwa kau mene- rimamu seperti aku memberimu?... kau? ya. kau?...aku. Besancon, oktober sebelas 1997. ↗
To illustrate how an individual can attain the goal of being submerged in physical reality while transforming it into holiness, we can use an analogy of a man who finds himself in a cold room. There are three ways that individual can maintain his body temperature: first, he can put on a warm coat; second, he can leave the room to go to a warmer environment; or third, he can light a fire. Similarly, if this individual finds himself in a "cold" environment, one which is detrimental to him, he can preserve his integrity through these three methods. First, he can put on a warm coat, which symbolizes strengthening himself inwardly so as not to be influenced by his surroundings. This however, is an incomplete victory, for if he were to relax his self-control he would capitulate. Second, he can leave the room, which implies separating himself from the negative influences surrounding him. Once again, this victory is only through removing himself from temptation and is, therefore, not permanent. He has not met the challenge by improving his surroundings. The third approach, lighting a fire, involves influencing the environment and raising it to a higher level. This is a complete triumph over one's surroundings for the dangers have not only been avoided, they have been entirely removed. ↗
I am a grenade," I said again. "I just want to stay away from people and read books and think and be with you guys because there's nothing I can do about hurting you: You're too invested, so just please let me do that, okay? "I'm going to go to my room and read for awhile, okay? I'm fine. I really am fine: I just want to go read for a while. ↗
