“[Honors: At his funeral, Charlie Chaplin read Dreiser's poem,] The Road I Came. ... American writing before and after his time differed almost as much as biology before and after Darwin. He was a man of large originality, of profound feeling and of unshakable courage. All of us who write are better off because he lived, worked and hoped.”
Theodore Dreiser
“We can often live our lives building ourselves to become great at doing some-thing. Leadership is found in seeing the potential in others and investing ourselves in some-one, as we go some-where, with unending hope working together. This is -where leaders rise up with connected hands; lifting one person at a time out the pits of hopelessness and onto an unshakable foundation.”
Joey Talladino
“Maybe the weirdest thing in the world is the feeling when you feel sad and it feels like years although it was just mere seconds but when you feel happy and you want to stay there forever cuz you say it's too short although it was longer than you think it is”

“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”
Ernest Hemingway
“One writes to make a home for oneself, on paper, in time and in others' minds.”
Alfred Kazin
“Before I write I let my mind go blind and let the lord do his thing.”
Tupac Shakur
“Sometimes my feelings are so hot that I have to take the pen and put them out on paper to keep them from setting me afire inside; then all that ink and labor are wasted because I can't print the results”
Mark Twain
