Raf Quotes

Because your goal is a complete rough draft of a novel, and every rough draft, by being complete, is perfect Picture Quote #1

My father was a very good craftsman. He made furniture, he made silverware and he had an incredible gift in terms of how you can make something yourself Picture Quote #1

There is an element of mystique to radio, and I often listen to cricket commentary on radio, especially when one is stuck in a traffic jam Picture Quote #1

I despair about the lack of proper respect shown for the piano. If you want it to sound like a traffic jam, go out in the street and forget the piano. That’s not a piano sound Picture Quote #1

The first company to produce a certified two seat electric aircraft with a 1.5 hour range will dominate the aviation training market Picture Quote #1

Witchcraft... is a spiritual path. You walk it for nourishment of the soul, to commune with the life force of the universe, and to thereby better know your own life Picture Quote #1

A good catcher is the quarterback, the carburetor, the lead dog, the pulse taker, the traffic cop and sometimes a lot of unprintable things, but no team gets very far without one Picture Quote #1

Doing mathematics should always mean finding patterns and crafting beautiful and meaningful explanations Picture Quote #1

My university degree is in art and, yes, I do a lot of drawing for all my books. I have a big drafting table set up in a spare bedroom and I cover it with maps and house plans and sketches that I use in the books. Also, I truly love architecture, so that plays a big part in all my books Picture Quote #1

I blur things to make everything equally important and equally unimportant. I blur things so that they do not look artistic or craftsmanlike but technological, smooth and perfect. I blur things to make all the parts a closer fit. Perhaps I also blur out the excess of unimportant information Picture Quote #1

I’m interested in vernacular cultures, where people lived a little closer to the source of materials and the making of objects for use. And for me, not to rely strictly on the history of art has always been an interesting process, to be looking into areas that we call craft and trades Picture Quote #1

With the goal of crafting a course that fits harmoniously with its surroundings, we took full advantage of the dramatic vistas, indigenous flora and beautiful rolling terrain to create a memorable golf experience for members and resort guests Picture Quote #1

The mystique and the false glamour of the writing profession grow partly out of a mistaken belief that people who can express profound ideas and emotions have ideas and emotions more profound than the rest of us. It isn’t so. The ability to express is a special gift with a special craft to support it and is spread fairly equally among the profound, the shallow, and the mediocre Picture Quote #1

Secure web servers are the equivalent of heavy armoured cars. The problem is, they are being used to transfer rolls of coins and cheques written in crayon by people on park benches to merchants doing business in cardboard boxes from beneath highway bridges. Further, the roads are subject to random detours, anyone with a screwdriver can control the traffic lights, and there are no police Picture Quote #1

I’m tired of having to consult a group of old white guys about my black girl craft. They don’t even know what they’re listening for or to Picture Quote #1

If a man is in need of rescue, an airplane can come in and throw flowers on him, and that’s just about all. But a direct lift aircraft could come in and save his life Picture Quote #1

We have the ability to craft a life where we are completely fulfilled. We think it is dependent on outsiders, and to some extent it is, but it is much more dependent on the attitude we bring to life Picture Quote #1

Typographic style is founded not on any one technology of typesetting or printing, but on the primitive yet subtle craft of writing Picture Quote #1

Any company executive who overcharges the government more than $5 million will be fined $50 or have to go to traffic school three nights a week Picture Quote #1

In the long run, no matter how good or successful you are or how clever or crafty, your business and its future are in the hands of the people you hire Picture Quote #1

Advice? Focus on the craft. Study the greats. Try and understand how and why they made the writing choices they did. Then, start by copying them... just as an exercise. See if you can do similar things. Learn how to write a song like so and so. Then, when you’ve done that, write a song like yourself. Learn to color within the lines before going outside them Picture Quote #1

Spending energy to understand the audience and carefully crafting a message that resonates with them means making a commitment of time and discipline to the process Picture Quote #1

In the practice of any craft, we are less concerned with the quantity of the product than with its quality, and less concerned with the product than with the artisan Picture Quote #1

My government will continue mounting a real fight against the trafficking of marijuana and all other drugs Picture Quote #1

It’s paradoxical that the death of your quarry is besides the point and at the same time the whole point. A chase without a kill as its object is like a journey without a destination; a kill without a chase employing all the hunter’s craft is killing, not hunting Picture Quote #1

An aircraft which is used by wealthy people on their expense accounts, whose fares are subsidized by much poorer taxpayers Picture Quote #1

I always say this to the young chefs and mean it: The customer is excited, he says you are an artist, but we are not, just craftspeople with a little talent. If the chef is an artist, he doesn’t succeed. Why? Because he is inspired today but not tomorrow. We cannot do that Picture Quote #1

Design isn’t crafting a beautiful, textured button with breathtaking animation. It’s figuring out if there’s a way to get rid of the button altogether Picture Quote #1

History is the heavy traffic that prevents us from crossing the road. We’re not especially interested in what it consists of. We wait, more or less patiently, for it to pause, so that we can get to the liquor store or the laundromat or the burger bar Picture Quote #1

People say, on the raft, you must have hallucinated. Baloney. We were sharper after 47 days than the day we started because our minds were empty of all the war and contamination; we had clean minds to fill with good thoughts. Every day we’d exercise our minds Picture Quote #1
