We have everything we need to be happy, but we aren't happy.... - Ray Bradbury

"Sometimes you just have to jump out the window and grow wings on the way down."

"We are living in a time when flowers are trying to live on flowers, instead of on good rain and black loam."

"It takes writing a billion bad words before you get to the good ones."

"Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't "try"to do things. You simply "must"do things."

"If we listened to our intellect we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship. We'd never go in business because we'd be cynical: "It's gonna go wrong."Or "She's going to hurt me."Or,"I've had a couple of bad love affairs, so therefore . . ."Well, that's nonsense. You're going to miss life. You've got to jump off the cliff all the time and build your wings on the way down."
