Text Quotes
Good website practice and optimizing for conversion usually makes for good search engine optimization. These work together to ensure you drive quality traffic and can persuade that traffic to help you meet your business goals  (Raf Quotes) The purpose of driving traffic to your online business is to get customers. Once a prospect lands on your site, you still have to convert that prospect into a buyer  (Raf Quotes) Traditional local media are adding local search capabilities to their sites so they can share in the local search traffic and ad revenues in the local markets they serve  (Raf Quotes) I was 19 years old, pumping gas and going nowhere. I was kind of a high school dropout at that point because I had left school to play hockey, but no one drafted me  (Raf Quotes) On the last drafts, I focus on the words themselves, including the rub of vowels and consonants, stressed and unstressed syllables. Yet even at this stage I’m often surprised. A different ending or a new character shows up and I’m back to where I began, letting the story happen, just trying to stay out of the way  (Raf Quotes) The craft of writing is all the stuff that you can learn through school; go to workshops and read books. Learn characterization, plot and dialogue and pacing and word choice and point of view. Then there’s also the art of it which is sort of the unknown, the inspiration, the stuff that is noncerebral  (Raf Quotes) What these people do here is obviously not working. They sit in their commuter traffic hour after hour. They make the earth a toxic waste dump  (Raf Quotes) I’ve developed my passion for cars that drive themselves from being stuck in traffic for many, many, many hours of my life. I don’t know what it adds up to, but I feel like I’ve lost a year or two just in traffic. That’s big to me. That’s a lot of time, a lot of money that I just lose on the road  (Raf Quotes) When you are young, hone your craft and write shorter pieces instead of novels, because it’s really hard to finish a novel  (Raf Quotes) During my second draft pass on my last book I made 20,000 words happen in a week, which is practically supernatural for me, and it would never have been possible without three nights in a hotel in my own city  (Raf Quotes) Talent is required, but much of writing is a matter of craft, which develops with time, attention, patience and practice, like playing an instrument or learning to dance  (Raf Quotes) Rewriting is the essence of writing well: it’s where the game is won or lost. The idea is hard to accept. We all have emotional equity in our first draft; we can’t believe that it wasn’t born perfect. But the odds are close to 100 percent that it wasn’t  (Raf Quotes) It’s one of the things writing students don’t understand. They write a first draft and are quite disappointed, or often should be disappointed. They don’t understand that they have merely begun, and that they may be merely beginning even in the second or third draft  (Raf Quotes) It’s my belief that you should never show your work to anyone in the publishing world until it shines like a diamond. Rough drafts don’t shine, as a rule. Mine certainly didn’t. That’s why I was rejected for years and years  (Raf Quotes) Never be satisfied with a first draft. In fact, never be satisfied with your own stuff at all, until you’re certain it’s as good as your finite powers can enable it to be  (Raf Quotes) Just because something isn’t a lie does not mean that it isn’t deceptive. A liar knows that he is a liar, but one who speaks mere portions of truth in order to deceive is a craftsman of destruction  (Raf Quotes) When you’re socially awkward, you’re isolated more than usual, and when you’re isolated more than usual, your creativity is less compromised by what has already been said and done. All your hope in life starts to depend on your craft, so you try to perfect it. One reason I stay isolated more than the average person is to keep my creativity as fierce as possible. Being the odd one out may have its temporary disadvantages, but more importantly, it has its permanent advantages  (Raf Quotes) If you ask around, it’s pretty easy to find someone who has a bank account overdraft horror story to tell  (Raf Quotes) If I hadn’t been a designer, I’d have been a painter. I began as a painter and learned the craft of pottery in order to support myself  (Raf Quotes) You can gain experience, if you are careful to avoid empty redundancy. Do not fall into the error of the artisan who boasts of twenty years experience in craft while in fact he has had only one year of experience–twenty times. And never resent the advantage of experience your elders have. Recall that they have paid for this experience in the coin of life, and have emptied a purse that cannot be refilled  (Raf Quotes) Listen. Look. Desire is a house. Desire needs closed space. Desire runs out of doors or windows, or slats or pinpricks, it can’t fit under the sky, too large. Close the doors. Close the windows. As soon as you laugh from nerves or make a joke or say something just to say something or get all involved with the bushes, then you blow open a window in your house of desire and it can’t heat up as well. Cold draft comes in  (Raf Quotes) Sometimes you look back at girls you spent money on rather than send it to your mum and you realise witchcraft is real  (Raf Quotes) Writing graffiti is about the most honest way you can be an artist. It takes no money to do it, you don’t need an education to understand it, and there’s no admission fee  (Raf Quotes) I always see what’s... wrong. Would you want that? When I see a car or a rocket or spacecraft, I only see what’s wrong. I never see what’s right. It’s not a recipe for happiness  (Raf Quotes) Let me not forget the use of my own hands, that of a craftsman with eyes... that reflect the technology around me  (Raf Quotes) When people see a negative thing about me on a magazine, they’re gonna buy it. Every time some site writes something bad, all my followers go on there, and it brings them more traffic  (Raf Quotes) Most development doesn’t make it to series. So you want the writer and director to have a really good experience with development because, if it doesn’t work out, you want to work with them again. You have to know their work really well, know the drafts really well, and when you give notes, you need to have really thought them through  (Raf Quotes) My trade is a lonely one. I’m a craftsman, if you like. It so happens that these days singers are better paid than blacksmiths  (Raf Quotes) I can cite a few cases of where people have tampered around with magic and witchcraft that they’ve been very severely frightened and traumatised by some of the outcomes. I mean we are playing with fire, and I had to say that  (Raf Quotes) There’s a choice that we have to make as people, as individuals. If you want to be great at something, there’s a choice you have to make. We all can be masters at our craft, but you have to make a choice. What I mean by that is, there are inherent sacrifices that come along with that. Family time, hanging out with friends, being a great friend, being a great son, nephew, whatever the case may be. There are sacrifices that come along with making that decision  (Raf Quotes)
