• Many a person who could not comprehend Rousseau, and would be puzzled by Montesquieu, could understand Paine as an open book. He wrote with a clarity, a sharpness of outline and exactness of speech that even a schoolboy should be able to grasp.

  Thomas A. Edison

  "The Philosophy of Paine" by Thomas A. Edison, June 7, 1925.

• Writing is a process of discovering. I could never outline a narrative; that just sounds boring. There's no joy of discovery in what you're doing if that's your strategy.

• Soy un "pantser". Trato de planear. Siempre lo intento. Termino con unos cuantos párrafos que básicamente esbozan la esencia de la historia, pero nunca llego mucho más allá. Me impaciento demasiado por escribir.

• I don't write with an outline. I don't often know what I'm going to do as I'm writing. And I do everything by feel and by instinct.

• I might spend 100 pages trying to get to know the world I'm writing about: its contours, who are my main characters, what are their relationships to each other, and just trying to get a sense of what and who this book is about. Usually around that point of 100 pages, I start to feel like I'm lost, I have too much material, it's time to start making some choices. It's typically at that point that I sit down and try to make a formal outline and winnow out what's not working and what I'm most interested in, where the story seems to be going.

• I'm not somebody who comes in with a whole outline, and says, "Here's the movie we're going to make." That's not what a documentary is for me. I think a documentary is about capturing events as they unfold in real time.

• The term "bend sinister" means a heraldic bar or band drawn from the left side (and popularly, but incorrectly, supposed to denote bastardy). This choice of title was an attempt to suggest an outline broken by refraction, a distortion in the mirror of being, a wrong turn taken by life, a sinistral and sinister world. The title's drawback is that a solemn reader looking for "general ideas" or "human interest" (which is much the same thing) in a novel may be led to look for them in this one.

• Cuando empiezas, es muy frío, una tarea imposible. Pero luego puede que los personajes empiecen a cobrar un poco de vida, o que la historia dé un giro que no esperas... A mí me pasa mucho porque no hago esquemas, sólo tengo una vaga idea. Así que siempre me he sentido menos como algo hecho y más como algo encontrado. Es emocionante. Es emocionante.

• En realidad, toda educación es autoeducación. Un profesor es sólo un guía, para señalarte el camino, y ninguna escuela, por excelente que sea, puede darte educación. Lo que recibes es como los contornos de un libro de colorear para niños. Tú mismo debes rellenar los colores.

• She'd cried over a broken heart before. She knew what that felt like, and it didn't feel like this. Her heart felt not so much broken as just ... empty. It felt like she was an outline empty in the middle. The outline cried senselessly for the absent middle. The past cried for the present that was nothing.

• Mattia was right: the days had slipped over her skin like a solvent, one after the other, each removing a very thin layer of pigment from her tattoo, and from both of their memories. The outlines, like the circumstances, were still there, black and well delineated, but the colors had merged together until they faded into a dull, uniform tonality, a neutral absence of meaning.

• En verdad, una imaginación sabia, que es la presencia del espíritu de Dios, es la mejor guía que el hombre o la mujer pueden tener; porque no son las cosas que vemos más claramente las que nos influyen más poderosamente; las visiones indefinidas, pero vívidas, de algo más allá, algo que el ojo no ha visto ni el oído ha oído, tienen mucha más influencia que cualquier secuencia lógica por la que las mismas cosas puedan demostrarse al intelecto. Es la naturaleza de la cosa, no la claridad de su contorno, lo que determina su funcionamiento. Vivimos por la fe y no por la vista.

• I don't start a novel until I have lived with the story for awhile to the point of actually writing an outline and after a number of books I've learned that the more time I spend on the outline the easier the book is to write. And if I cheat on the outline I get in trouble with the book.

• You want this?" His voice was hoarse. "Yes," she said. "Do you?" His finger traced the outline of her mouth. "For this I would have been damned forever. For this I would have given up everything." She felt the burn behind her eyes, the pressure of tears, and blinked wet eyelashes. "Will ..." "Dw i'n dy garu di am byth," he said. "I love you. Always." And he moved to cover her body with his own.

• Nadie me conocería por la descripción que hago de mí mismo; por eso, cuando me piden (rara vez, lo reconozco) que haga un relato, lo adapto, trato de ofrecer un esquema que pueda, de algún modo, correlacionarse con el esquema que la gente entiende que tengo -que, supongo, tengo realmente, en este momento. Pero lo que soy en mi cabeza, muy poca gente llega a verlo. Casi nadie. Es el regalo más preciado que puedo hacer, sacarla de su escondite.

• It was dark in the alcove, so dark that Jace was only an outline of shadows and gold. His body pinned Clary's to the wall. His hands slid down along her body and reached the end of her dress, drawing it up along her legs. "What are you doing?" She whispered. "Jace?" He looked at her. The peculiar light in the club turned his eyes an array of fractured colors. His smile was wicked. "You can tell me to stop whenever you want," he said. "But you won't.

• To each eye, perhaps, the outlines of a great civilization present a different picture. In the wide ocean upon which we venture, the possible ways and directions are many; and the same studies which have served for my work might easily, in other hands, not only receive a wholly different treatment and application, but lead to essentially different conclusions.

• So you see, the quality of humor is not a personal or a national monopoly. It's as free as salvation, and, I am afraid, far more widely distributed. But it has its value, I think. The hard and sordid things of life are too hard and too sordid and too cruel for us to know and touch them year after year without some mitigating influence, some kindly veil to draw over them, from time to time, to blur the craggy outlines, and make the thorns less sharp and the cruelties less malignant.
