“To start your quest you need somewhere to begin, and the best place to begin is at the start. - Horus, King of the Gods”

“Almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts. You need to start somewhere.”

“Your path is clear,” said Moon Man. “You need to find it.”And the best way to find something you had lost was to return to the last place you remembered having it. In my case, I needed to start at the very beginning.”

“The grace to be a beginner is always the best prayer for an artist. The beginner’s humility and openness lead to exploration. Exploration leads to accomplishment. All of it begins at the beginning, with the first small and scary step . . . .Wherever you are is always the right place. There is never a need to fix anything, to hitch up the bootstraps of the soul and start at some higher place. Start right where you are.”

“Stories rarely begin at the beginning, but every storyteller has to begin somewhere, and Anna chooses to start this story with shame.”

“There is no easy or quick plan to happiness, there is no single spot where you can start. Where you are right now is the best place to begin.”
