I keep following this sort of hidden river of my life, you know, whatever the topic or impulse which comes, I follow it along trustingly. And I don't have any sense of its coming to a kind of crescendo, or of its petering out either. It is just going steadily along.

I work in a business environment forty hours a week, and writing is what I do to unwind. It allows me to transport myself to a happy place where I can indulge my hopes, beliefs, aspirations and fantasies. It also allows me to live and breathe a topic for eighteen months while I'm researching and writing.

There's no subject you don't have permission to write about. Students often avoid subjects close to their heart ... because they assume that their teachers will regard those topics as 'stupid.' No area of life is stupid to someone who takes it seriously. If you follow your affections you will write well and will engage your readers.

I like Macron a lot and I very much welcome him - particularly the fact that he made Europe one of the main topics of the election debate.
Jean-Claude Juncker

I am still of opinion that only two topics can be of the least interest to a serious and studious mood - sex and the dead.
William Butler Yeats
Image
I think we just need to stick to our knitting on the topics and the subjects the American people care about.
Sam Brownback

Do or do not. There is no try, says Yoda, the bewitching philosopher warrior created by George Lucas in Star Wars. Yoda is quoted at least as often as the founding fathers on this topic.
Jerry I. Porras

I don't think talking about myself making songs is a very interesting topic, there are so many other more engaging things to think about and write about.
Jeffrey Lewis

Honest discussions - even and perhaps especially on topics about which we disagree - can help us resist hypocrisy and arrogance. They can also help us live up to the basic ideals, such as liberty and justice for all, on which our country was founded.
David Price

Years ago, women sat in the kitchen drinking coffee and discussing life. Now they discuss the same topics while they run.
Joan Benoit
Image
There are no taboos. Every topic is open, however shocking. It is the way that the topics are handled that's important, and that applies whether it is a 15-year-old who is reading your book or someone who is 55.
Robert Cormier

Here's a Challenge: Study a complicated topic in such detail that anyone interested can nod their head and understand as you explain specific concepts within the topic.
Albert Einstein

Writing songs about fancying people in dance clubs is all very well but it's not the be-all and end-all. There are other topics.
Sophie Ellis Bextor

Fiction stymies me with its possibility. I can't see the bottom and I freeze, cling to the side, or just choke. In nonfiction, particularly that which takes personal narrative for its primary topic, I have a finite space and a finite amount of material. I can't fabricate material, I can only shape and burrow into it.

I'm interested in the origins of the religious experience, how the history of religion has evolved over the last umpteen thousand years, and where religiosity is going in the future. I think that's a topic I've been chewing on for a few years I would love to eventually work on and produce a book out of it.

I'm very concerned with what's going on the news, but I would not call myself a political animal, per se. I pay more attention during election years, or if I see some topic or issue that I care about. But I would never call myself a political animal or political junkie.
Keegan-Michael Key
Image
There seems to be something pure in pulling from a place in time that's innocent and untouched by outward opinion. I wanted this album to have threads of my past to enrich the topics I wanted to address about aging.
Brooke Waggoner

I come up with my jokes by thinking of a topic.

I read and learned and fretted more about Canada after I left than I ever did while I was home. I absorbed anything I could on topics that ranged from Folklore to history to political mainifestos... I ranted and raved and seethed about things beyond my control. In short I acted like a Canadian.
Will Ferguson

Even though money seems such an objective topic, it can also be the most intimate, and possibly harmful, part of a relationship.
Christie Hefner
Image
I like showing different types of comedy - showing that I could tell a story, or showing that I could do a one-liner, showing I could do stuff about music - so just trying to be versatile and talking about different topics.
Hannibal Buress
Image
Sociologists well understand that chaos at home causes violent behavior, educational failure and social alienation among children. Yet, many of us in America stay far, far away from this topic. That in itself is a national scandal. Bad parenting is gravely harming this nation.
Bill O'Reilly
Image
Reading has always been in the chief joy, a never-ending topic of conversation, and often a lifesaver, in my family.
Elizabeth Borton de Trevino
Image
I'm not a genre film filmmaker. I'd rather look for a topic that I think we need to bring up and discuss because there's something about the issues in the film.
