5 Quotes Of Albert Pike

- 01 - Noblest Achievements & The Poor

Almost all the noblest things that have been achieved in the world, have been achieved by poor men; poor scholars, poor professional men, poor artisans and artists, poor philosophers, poets, and men of genius.

- 02 - The Light & Practice

We have all the light we need, we just need to put it in practice.

- 03 - Eyes & Different Aspects

The eyes of the cheerful and of the melancholy man are fixed upon the same creation; but very different are the aspects which it bears to them.

- 04 - What We Do

What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.

- 05 - Mankind's Brotherhood

Above all things let us never forget that mankind constitutes one great brotherhood; all born to encounter suffering and sorrow, and therefore bound to sympathize with each other.

Neil Gaiman The Only Thing

The one thing that you have

that nobody else has is you.

Your voice, your mind, your story, your vision.

So write and draw and build and play

and dance and live as only you can. 

Neil Gaiman

Anne Rice, Believe In Yourself

Believe in yourself. 

Believe in your own vision. 

Believe in your own style. 

Learn from everybody. 

Choose your mentors where ever you want. 

Imitate no One. 

Remember that being a writer takes nerve. 

It takes guts. 

It takes faith. 

There are no real rules for writers. 

Even what I am telling you here can be totally disregarded. 

And even after writing 23 books, 

I need faith and courage every day. 

I read Charles Dickens to give me courage. 

I read Hemingway to give me courage. 

I read Emily and Charlotte Bronte to give me courage. 

You have to choose your sources of inspiration and 

write, write, write.

Anne Rice
