Creative art is the power to be for a moment a flash of communication between God and man.

Ruth Sawyer Writer

whereas there are many people in the world who can give life to others, there are but few who can help others to possess it.

Ruth Sawyer Writer

To be a good storyteller one must be gloriously alive. It is not possible to kindle fresh fires from burned-out embers. I have noticed that the best of the traditional storytellers whom I have heard have been those who live close to the heart of things-to the earth, the sea, wind and weather. They have been those who knew solitude, silence. They have been given unbroken time in which to feel deeply, to reach constantly for understanding. They have come to know the power of the spoken word. These storytellers have been sailors and peasants, wanderers and fisherman.

It's not that war crimes stop as soon as a novel about them is published. Literature operates slowly, it is always inching toward bliss, never quite getting there.

Aleksandar Hemon Writer

I've always made a total effort, even when the odds seemed entirely against me. I never quit trying; I never felt that I didn't have a chance to win.

Arnold Palmer Professional Golfer

If there's one thing that Trump does, he never quits.

Bob Woodward Journalist

Listen, here it is: Technically, I never quit. I'm seven years late for work.

Dave Chappelle Comedian

I haven't written anything yet that makes me think, This is it! and I don't imagine I ever will. I don't know how it is with you, but when I finish something, even when I'm pleased with the results, it never quite matches the shimmering vision that was out ahead of me as I wrote.

Debra Dean Author

I never tried quitting, and I never quit trying.

Dolly Parton Singer-Songwriter
