Amy’s Quotes

“Renaissance artist Gregorio Comanini, has counseled the equivalent of “Live an ordinary, regular life so you can be irregular and brilliant in your creativity.”
― Jeff VanderMeer, Booklife

“Anxious, inexperienced writers obey rules. Rebellious, unschooled writers break rules. Artists master the form.”

“We quote from books. Movies are made from books. Musicals are made from books. Much of our religion and spiritual belief comes from books. Books can help us understand who we are and why we do what we do and think what we think. Books teach us about life and humanity. Sometimes books can remind us we can overcome all that life throws at us. Books entertain us, and I cannot imagine a life without books.”
― Andrew McAleer, 101 Habits of Highly Successful Novelists: Insider Secrets from Top Writers

“Man should not be in the service of society, society should be in the service of man. When man is in the service of society, you have a monster state, and that's what is threatening the world at this minute.”

“Turning and turning in the widening gyre/The falcon cannot hear the falconer;/Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;/Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,/The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere/The ceremony of innocence is drowned.”
― Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth
