“The out-dated imagery of sitting over a dusty typewriter staring at blank pages for years is a fallacy and probably designed to keep you from living up to your fullest potential.”

“A blank page is no empty space. It is brimming with potential... It is a masterpiece in waiting -- yours.”

“In the old days, writers used to sit in front of a typewriter and stare out of the window. Nowadays, because of the marvels of convergent technology, the thing you type on and the window you stare out of are now the same thing.”

“Staring at the blank page before youopen up the dirty windowlet the sun illuminate the words that you could not find.Today is where your book begins,the rest is still unwritten....”

“...the answer is not in the damn blank page - it's in the days or years before and you have to dredge it up - exhume the past again ...”

“Simply handing over your iPod to a friend, your blind date, or the total stranger sitting next to you on the plane opens you up like a book." (Steven Levy)”
