Life is hard. Then you die. Then they throw dirt in your face. Then the worms eat you. Be grateful it happens in that order Picture Quote #1

Of course life is bizarre, the more bizarre it gets, the more interesting it is. The only way to approach it is to make yourself some popcorn and enjoy the show Picture Quote #1

The avalanche of time sweeps everything before it. Every individual instant hurtles into oblivion, drowning out the obliteration of the instant immediately preceding it, and then it too disappears under the onslaught of the next and the next and the next. When the avalanche has shuddered past for a long enough time, the perception of the past evolves. Distant events grow beyond mere history and take on the weight of legend Picture Quote #1

True genius can be identified by the fact that its expression changes the world into something it has never been before Picture Quote #1

You know what a virus is, don’t you?... The virus program does the same thing Picture Quote #1

Tomorrow is going to be different than yesterday, it’s going to be a lot different Picture Quote #1

The single most important lesson of effective communication is this: Focus on clarity. Concentrate on precisions. Don’t worry about constructing beautiful sentences. Beauty comes from meaning, not language. Accuracy is the most effective style of all Picture Quote #1

Imagine yourself in the scene. See what there is to be seen. Listen to the sounds. Touch the world. Smell the air. Taste it. Use all of your senses. Then evoke those experiences for the reader. If you give the audience the flavor, they’ll flesh out the moment in their own imaginations Picture Quote #1

Notice how every science fiction movie or television show starts with a shot of the location where the story is about to occur. Movies that take place in outer space always start with a shot of stars and a starship. Movies that take place on another world always start with a shot of that planet. This is to let you know where you are. Novels and stories start the same way. You have to give the reader a sense of where he is and what’s happening as quickly as possible. You don’t want to start the story by confusing the reader Picture Quote #1

Most people say they want justice, but they don’t really want justice. They want revenge. They want to see the pain spread around equally Picture Quote #1

You can tell a lot about a civilization by the quality of the people found in its jails Picture Quote #1

Study what you love, and youll never have to work a day in your life. Itll be one great adventure Picture Quote #1

If a fanatic is willing to give his life for a cause, he’s probably willing to give yours as well Picture Quote #1
