“Bit by bit, putting it together...Piece by piece, only way to make a work of art.Every moment makes a contribution,Every little detail plays a part.Having just the vision's no solution,Everything depends on execution,Putting it together, that's what counts.”

“Having just the vision's no solution, everything depends on execution”

“Was that me? Yes it was. Was that him? No it wasn't.. Just a trick of the woods! Just a moment, One peculiar passing moment. Must it all be either less or more, Either plain or grand? Is it always 'or'? Is it never 'and'? That's what woods are for: For those moments in the woods... Oh, if life were made of moments, Even now and then a bad one--! But if life were only moments, Then you'd never know you had one. First a witch, then a child, then a Prince, then a moment-- Who can live in the woods? And to get what you wish, only just for a moment-- These are dangerous woods.. Let the moment go.. Don't forget it for a moment, though. Just remembering you had an 'and,' when you're back to 'or,' Makes the 'or' mean more than is did before. Now I understand--And it's time to leave the woods.”

“The worst thing you can do is censor yourself as the pencil hits the paper. You must not edit until you get it all on paper. If you can put everything down, stream-of-consciousness, you'll do yourself a service.”

“The nice thing about doing a crossword puzzle is, you know there is a solution.”

“Work is what you do for others, liebchen. Art is what you do for yourself.”

“Oh if life were made of momentsEven now and then a bad one--! But if life were only moments, Then you'd never know you had one.”
