• Although they only give gold medals in the field of athletics, I encourage everyone to look into themselves and find their own personal dream, whatever that may be - sports, medicine, law, business, music, writing, whatever. The same principles apply. Turn your dream into a goal and learn how to attack that goal systematically. Break it into bite-size chunks that seem possible, and then don't give up. Just keep plugging away.

• Children are born true scientists. They spontaneously experiment and experience and reexperience again. They select, combine, and test, seeking to find order in their experiences - "which is the mostest? which is the leastest?" They smell, taste, bite, and touch-test for hardness, softness, springiness, roughness, smoothness, coldness, warmness: they heft, shake, punch, squeeze, push, crush, rub, and try to pull things apart.

  R. Buckminster Fuller

• Don't be polite.
  Bite in.
  Pick it up with your fingers and lick the juice that may run down your chin.
  It is ready and ripe now, whenever you are.
  You do not need a knife or fork or spoon.
  For there is no core
  or stem
  or rind
  or pit
  or seed
  or skin
  to throw away.

  Eve Merriam

• I don't like the beach. I think we have no business at the beach at all, as a species. We don't belong in the sea.

  Billy Connolly

• As a writer you're holding a dog. You let the dog run about. But you finally can pull him back. Finally, I'm in control. But the great excitement is to see what happens if you let the whole thing go. And the dog or the character really runs about, bites everyone in sight, jumps up trees, falls into lakes, gets wet, and you let that happen. That's the excitement of writing plays-to allow the thing to be free but still hold the final leash.

  Harold Pinter
