“There's a practical problem about time and energy, and a more subtle problem of what it does to a writer's head, to continually analyze why they write, where it all comes from, where it's going to.”
Kazuo Ishiguro
“If you aren't good at loving yourself, you will have a difficult time loving anyone, since you'll resent the time and energy you give another person that you aren't even giving to yourself.”
Barbara De Angelis
“Consider the price. You can have anything you desire, plan for, and work to achieve. You cannot have everything. The price of following your dream is paid for in your time and energy. Since both are limited and irreplaceable, it is necessary to invest them in things that are truly valuable.”
Terence T. Gorski
“Love is like energy. It can never be created nor destroyed...it is just always there. You just have to realize that fact and you have to learn that as soon as you stopped loving him in the way you did that love left to somewhere else. Now all you have to do is find out where that love went. That love went to whoever the next person in your life will be. That next person could be one of your friends or someone you might dislike, you just have to find that out.”
Ian Philpot
“To help the young soul, to add energy, inspire hope, and blow the coals into a useful flame; to redeem defeat by new thought and firm action, this, though not easy, is the work of divine man”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“People spend too much time finding other people to blame, too much energy finding excuses for not being what they are capable of being, and not enough energy putting themselves on the line, growing out of the past, and getting on with their lives.”
J. Michael Straczynski
“Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than in trying to solve them.”
Henry Ford
