More From Ira Glass

Love. children are loving, they dont gossip, they dont complain, theyre just open-hearted. theyre ready for you. they dont judge. they dont see things by way of color. theyre very child-like. thats the problem with adults: they lose that child-like quality. and thats the level of inspiration thats so needed and is so important for creating and writing songs and for a sculptor, a poet or a novelist. its that same kind of innocence, that same level of consciousness, that you create from. and kids have it. i feel it right away from animals and children and nature. of course.

Arab children, corn ears of the future, you will break our chains, kill the opium in our heads, kill the illusions. arab children, don't read about our suffocated generation, we are a hopeless case. we are as worthless as a water-melon rind. dont read about us, dont ape us, dont accept us, dont accept our ideas, we are a nation of crooks and jugglers. arab children, spring rain, corn ears of the future, you are the generation that will overcome defeat.

But what i would like to say is that the spiritual life is a life in which you gradually learn to listen to a voice that says something else, that says, "you are the beloved and on you my favour rests."... i want you to hear that voice. it is not a very loud voice because it is an intimate voice. it comes from a very deep place. it is soft and gentle. i want you to gradually hear that voice. we both have to hear that voice and to claim for ourselves that that voice speaks the truth, our truth. it tells us who we are.
Christian Spiritual Voice
There are no words and there is no singing, but the music has a voice. it is an old voice and a deep voice, like the stump of a sweet cigar or a shoe with a hole. it is a voice that has lived and lives, with sorrow and shame, ecstasy and bliss, joy and pain, redemption and damnation. it is a voice with love and without love. i like the voice, and though i can't talk to it, i like the way it talks to me. it says it is all the same, young man. take it and let it be.

My main piece of advice would be dont worry about being published - just write a really good book, but also dont be afraid to write a bad book. give yourself permission to fail, and dont be afraid.

The one affectation i have forced on the publisher... are my apostrophe-free ellisions. because i write my scripts to read myself, i dont spell 'don't' with an apostrophe. i spell it 'dont'. we all know the word and it seems foolish to put in an extraneous apostrophe. punctuation marks are devices we use to make the meaning of sentences clear. there is nothing confusing about a word like 'dont' printed without an apostrophe to indicate an omitted letter.

The vehemence with which certain critics have chosen not simply to criticize what i've written, but to challenge my writing this story at all, speaks of what the book is about: fear of disapproval.
Book Writing Challenges
Writing can be a pretty desperate endeavor, because it is about some of our deepest needs: our need to be visible, to be heard, our need to make sense of our lives, to wake up and grow and belong. it is no wonder if we sometimes tend to take ourselves perhaps a bit too seriously.

A conservationist is one who is humbly aware that with each stroke [of the axe] he is writing his signature on the face of his land.

It's so easy to think that this [celebrity] is reality; that people are lining up outside just to write down what i have to say. that's not real; that's weird.
