Naguib Mahfouz
“أن تؤمن وأن تعمل فهذا هو المثل الأعلى،
ألا تؤمن فذاك طريق آخر اسمه الضياع،
أن تؤمن وتعجز عن العمل فهذا هو الجحيم.”
نجيب محفوظ, Miramar

Brenda Ueland
“I found that many gifted people are so afraid of writing a poor story that they cannot summon the nerve to write a single sentence for months. The thing to say to such people is: "See how *bad* a story you can write. See how dull you can be. Go ahead. That would be fun and interesting. I will give you ten dollars if you can write something thoroughly dull from beginning to end!" And of course, no one can. ”
Brenda Ueland, If You Want to Write: A Book about Art, Independence and Spirit

Brenda Ueland
“Now before going to a party, I just tell myself to listen with affection to anyone who talks to me, to be in their shoes when they talk, to try to know them without my mind pressing against theirs, or arguing, or changing the subject. No. My attitude is: 'Tell me more.' This person is showing me his soul. It is a little dry and meager and full of grinding talk just now, but presently he will begin to think, not just automatically to talk. He will show his true self. Then he will be wonderfully alive.' ...Creative listeners are those who want you to be recklessly yourself, even at your very worst, even vituperative, bad-tempered. They are laughing and just delighted with any manifestation of yourself, bad or good. For true listeners know that if you are bad-tempered it does not mean that you are always so. They don't love you just when you are nice; they love all of you.”
Brenda Ueland, Strength to Your Sword Arm: Selected Writings

Brenda Ueland
“When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand. Ideas actually begin to grow within us and come to life.”
Brenda Ueland

Anne Bogart
“Listening is a basic ingredient of attention, and it can be learned and
practiced. Listening is fueled by interest and curiosity. It is a discipline
and an action in the world, and the results are nearly magical. Hearing
can restore. To be heard, really heard by another person, is to be healed.”
Anne Bogart, And Then, You Act: Making Art in an Unpredictable World

Just a nice calm little group in which we can read BTS recommended books and dive more into understanding why their songs are as perfect as they are.
