Gary Provost
“This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It's like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety. Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with the energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals - sounds that say listen to this, it is important.”
Gary Provost, 100 Ways to Improve Your Writing: Proven Professional Techniques for Writing With Style and Power

Shahad Al Rawi
“سيأتي المستقبل بكل وقاحة ، و يجعل منا جيلا قديما ، بأغان قديمة ، و أزياء قديمة ، و لهجة هي الاخرى قديمة ، ياالهي نحن نكبر ايضا ، لقد شاغلتنا الحروب و نسينا اننا نكبر ، الحروب الحديثة تبقى مراهقة ونحن نتقدم في العمر الصواريخ فتية ونحن نمضي في السنوات”
Shahad Al Rawi, ساعة بغداد

Yanis Varoufakis
“Try mentally to travel to a faraway place, if not necessarily in order to move your world – though how splendid that would be! – but to see it clearly for what it is. Doing so will grant you the opportunity to retain your freedom. And to remain a free spirit as you grow up and make your way in this world, it is essential that you cultivate a rare but crucial freedom: the liberty that comes from knowing how the economy works and from the capacity to answer the trillion-dollar question: ‘Who does what to whom around your neck of the woods and further afield?”
Yanis Varoufakis, Talking to My Daughter About the Economy: A Brief History of Capitalism

Robert A. Johnson
“All psychological suffering (or happiness, taken in its usual sense) is a matter of comparison.”
Robert A. Johnson, He: Understanding Masculine Psychology

Andre Agassi
“What you feel doesn’t matter in the end; it’s what you do that makes you brave.”
Andre Agassi, Open
