No matter how intense or honest or pure our desire to become a
writer it ultimately comes down to having talent, developing your
particular level of talent, or giving up. And it doesn't matter
what the public is reading, what Oprah is recommending, or how you
feel. If you are a writer you'll start writing that book and you'll
finish it. Then whether it sells or not--whether it's published or
not--you'll finish another. And another. And another. If you don't
you're not a writer. This isn't a particularly comfortable or
encouraging proposition and the fact that it might result in a
lifetime of toil that ends in debt and obscurity doesn't, however
unfair, make it any less true. When I seriously considered quitting
writing I realized the crater left behind could never be filled
with familial bliss, money, Irish whiskey, or vacations. In the end
it doesn't matter if my books are bestsellers or
any-kind-of-sellers; it only matters that they be written. Anything
less would be a waste of my life. God help me, I'm a writer. And,
God help me again, reading little nuggets of wisdom from other
writers are sometimes the only thing that gets me to scribble
another word, sentence, or paragraph. Pathetic, but here are 906 of
my favorites.
Here is the classic collection of quotes from Francis Ford
Coppola's The Godfather. Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather is
one of the greatest movies of all time and one of the most popular:
on its 35th anniversary, it continues to be a top earner on video
and DVD. But what has made this classic so compelling is the unique
Corleone wit and wisdom. Every fan will want to own this officially
licensed, completely fascinating anthology of memorable words from
the film. It features a great selection of famous quotes from the
"Family," from the Don's unforgettable "I'm gonna make him an offer
he can't refuse" to Clemenza's infamous, "Leave the gun. Take the
cannolis." Every sharp and witty line will bring back a memory of
this great movie--and that makes it a perfect gift for every
Godfather aficionado. Who would dare to resist?
"It isn't what the book costs. It's what it will cost you if you
don't read it." - Jim Rohn Are you in need of an emotional
shot-in-the-arm? I know I certainly was. I had lost my voice and
was going through the wringer with a viral illness. Physically
drained and mentally miserable, with only Facebook for company, I
found myself clicking on a photo of an inspirational quotation that
someone had posted. Then another and another. Pretty soon I started
feeling happier. And some of the quotations I actually found very
thought-provoking, inspiring and challenging. Before I knew it, I
was feeling much more positive on many levels and found myself
thinking long and hard about my life and my future. I started
typing up a list of the quotations which I found most helpful so
that I could refer to them again and again all in one place. Then I
started looking for additional pearls of wisdom, and soon I had a
collection of dozens, scores, over a hundred quotations. They are
proving a great source of motivation to me and have inspired me to
take action to improve my situation. I came to realise that surely
other people's lives could also be made better and happier through
these quotations, and that it would be wrong of me to hide this
light under a bushel. And so now here in this book are the
inspirational sayings I have collected- shared with the world and
shared with you. Enjoy. And be inspired to take action
