Wishes For Good Future Quotes & Sayings

Observe the difference between your attitude to illusions and mine. You have to defend the religious illusion with all your might.

The truth is that good fantasies carefully limit the magic that's possible. In fact, the magic has to be defined, at least in the author's mind, as a whole new set of natural laws that cannot be violated during the course of the story.

That's cheating, and your reader will be quite correct to throw your book across the room and carefully avoid anything you ever write in the future.

In a president, character is everything. A president doesn't have to be brilliant ... He doesn't have to be clever; you can hire clever ... You can hire pragmatic, and you can buy and bring in policy wonks. But you cant buy courage and decency, you cant rent a strong moral sense. A president must bring those things with him.

But a vision is worth little if a president doesn't have the character - the courage and heart - to see it through. — Peggy Noonan
