More From Thomas Malthus

If you took the entire internet and laid it end to end, it would weigh more than the other thing. it would weigh more than it would if it wasn't laid end to end. like, if it was a ball of rolled up internet it would weigh less. i'm pretty sure. it depends on the size of the scale, i think.
Thinking Balls Size
Dad once said to me that should he pass away, if there was some way of letting me know he was going to be ok - that we were all going to be ok - the message would come to me in the form of a white feather. then something happened to me about ten years ago when i was on tour in australia. i was presented with a white feather by an aboriginal tribal elder, which definitely took my breath away. one thing for sure is that the white feather has always represented peace to me.

The surest way to know our gold, is to look upon it and examine it in god's furnace, where he tries it that we may see what it is. if we have a mind to know whether a building stands strong or not, we must look upon it when the wind blows. if we would know whether a staff be strong, or a rotten, broken reed, we must observe it when it is leaned on and weight is borne upon it. if we would weigh ourselves justly we must weigh ourselves in god's scales that he makes use of to weigh us.

Opposites Long Trying
I’m convinced that fear is at the root of most bad writing. dumbo got airborne with the help of a magic feather; you may feel the urge to grasp a passive verb or one of those nasty adverbs for the same reason. just remember before you do that dumbo didn’t need the feather; the magic was in him.

When you hit the unimaginable, the only answer is imaginativeness. you have to heal with the person that you're suffering with. you have to write a new chapter in your story. a relationship can be a sacred thing, but it's going to be difficult. there are going to be challenges. you are going to have pain. but working it through and being resilient is as sacred and meaningful as having a "hollywood" romance.
Meaningful Pain Writing
I think it was the fact that i liked it so much that made the writing just come out of me automatically.

Remember that 'plumber in space' is not such a bad setup for a story.
Writing Space Stories
Sometimes when you write a thing you think, 'oh, this is good', and it's not a modesty or an immodesty thing, you just... it's just the same with anything; when you write a piece you just figure, 'oh yeah, i'm on a roll here. this is good; i'm getting the hang of this'. some pieces are better than others.
