Ed Catmull
“Toy Story went on to become the top-grossing film of the year and would earn $358 million worldwide. But it wasn’t just the numbers that made us proud; money, after all, is just one measure of a thriving company and usually not the most meaningful one. No, what I found gratifying was what we’d created. Review after review focused on the film’s moving plotline and its rich, three-dimensional characters—only briefly mentioning, almost as an aside, that it had been made on a computer. While there was much innovation that enabled our work, we had not let the technology overwhelm our real purpose: making a great film.”
Ed Catmull, Creativity, Inc.: Overcoming the Unseen Forces That Stand in the Way of True Inspiration

Gail Honeyman
“If I’m ever unsure as to the correct course of action, I’ll think, “What would a ferret do?” or, “How would a salamander respond to this situation?” Invariably, I find the right answer.”
Gail Honeyman, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine

Octavia E. Butler
“When your rage is choking you, it is best to say nothing.”
Octavia E. Butler, Fledgling

Douglas Coupland
“we lost money at church bingos and ate catfish deep-fried in lard.”
Douglas Coupland, LIFE AFTER GOD
