Percival Everett
“There is no God, child. There’s religion but there’s no God of theirs. Their religion tells that we will get our reward in the end. However, it apparently doesn’t say anything about their punishment. But when we’re around them, we believe in God. Oh, Lawdy Lawd, we’s be believin’. Religion is just a controlling tool they employ and adhere to when convenient.”
Percival Everett, James

Ta-Nehisi Coates
“I was learning the craft of poetry, which really was an intensive version of what my mother had taught me all those years ago—the craft of writing as the art of thinking. Poetry aims for an economy of truth—loose and useless words must be discarded, and I found that these loose and useless words were not separate from loose and useless thoughts.”
Ta-Nehisi Coates, Between the World and Me

Elizabeth Gilbert
“perfectionism is just fear in fancy shoes and a mink coat,”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear

Pádraig Ó Tuama
“The man here tells us a truth that is awful - we baptise ourselves with names that are far from the only truth about ourselves.”
Pádraig Ó Tuama, In the Shelter: Finding a Home in the World

Elizabeth Gilbert
“The universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if we can find them.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear
