Dan Simmons Quotes

It Says Something About The Type Of Writing I Had Been Doing That My Muse Could Flee Without My Noticing. For Those Who Do Not Write And Who Never Have Been Stirred By The Creative Urge, Talk Of Muses Seems A Figure Of Speech, A Quaint Conceit, But For Those Of Us Who Live By The Word, Our Muses Are As Real And Necessary As The Soft Clay Of Language Which They Help To Sculpt. When One Is Writing - Really Writing - It Is As If One Is Given A Fatline To The Gods. No True Poet Has Been Able To Explain The Exhilaration One Feels When The Mind Becomes An Instrument As Surely As Does The Pen Or Thought Processor, Ordering And Expressing The Revelations Flowing In From Somewhere Else.
