• Now, my tree-climbing days long behind me, I often think about the lasting value of those early, deliciously idle days. I have come to appreciate the long view afforded by those treetops. The woods were my Ritalin. Nature calmed me, focused me, and yet excited my senses.

• The hour of death waits for no order. Death does not even come from the front. It is ever pressing on from behind. All men know of death, but they do not expect it of a sudden, and it comes upon them unawares. So, though the dry flats extend far out, soon the tide comes and floods the beach.

• Criticism can never instruct or benefit you. Its chief effect is that of a telegram with dubious news. Praise leaves no glow behind, for it is a writer's habit to remember nothing good of himself. I have usually forgotten those who have admired my work, and seldom anyone who disliked it. Obviously, this is because praise is never enough and censure always too much.

  Ben Hecht

• So crucify the ego, before its far too late
  To leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical,
  And you will come to find that we are all one mind
  Capable of all thats imagined and all conceivable.
  Just let the light touch you
  And let the words spill through
  And let them pass right through
  Bringing out our hope and reason ...
  before we pine away.

  Maynard James Keenan

  Light, Cynical, Ego

• Now culture being a social product, I firmly believe that any work of art should have a social function to beautify, to glorify, to dignify man... Since any social system is forced to change to another by concrete economic forces, its art changes also to be recharged, reshaped, and revitalized by the new conditions... The making of a genuine artist or writer is not mysterious. It is not
  the work of Divine Providence. Social conditions, history, and the people's struggle are the factors behind it.
