“The decide word is so powerful. It's amazing what you can do once you decide to do it.”
“You can do what you decide to do — but you cannot decide what you will decide to do.”
“Decide what you want to do. Then decide to do it. Then do it.”
“That's what I want, that kind of recklessness where the poem is even ahead of you. It's like riding a horse that's a little too wild for you, so there's this tension between what you can do and what the horse decides it's going to do.”
“There are 86,400 seconds in a day. It's up to you to decide what to do with them.”
“As a nonfiction writer you must get on the plane. If the subject interests you, go after it, even if it's in the next county or the next state or the next country. It's not going to come looking for you. Decide what you want to do. Then decide to do it. Then do it.--William Zinsser”
