More From Ayn Rand

A dialogue is very important. it is a form of communication in which question and answer continue till a question is left without an answer. thus the question is suspended between the two persons involved in this answer and question. it is like a bud with untouched blossoms . . . if the question is left totally untouched by thought, it then has its own answer because the questioner and answerer, as persons, have disappeared. this is a form of dialogue in which investigation reaches a certain point of intensity and depth, which then has a quality that thought can never reach.
Communication Two Important
As every writer knows... there is something mysterious about the writer's ability, on any given day, to write. when the juices are flowing, or the writer is 'hot', an invisible wall seems to fall away, and the writer moves easily and surely from one kind of reality to another... every writer has experienced at least moments of this strange, magical state. reading student fiction one can spot at once where the power turns on and where it turns off, where the writer writes from 'inspiration' or deep, flowing vision, and where he had to struggle along on mere intellect.
Wall Struggle Moving
Often people talk about how they feel 'stuck' in a situation. you're never stuck! you may be a little frustrated, you may not have clear answers, but you're not stuck. the minute you represent the situation to yourself as being stuck, though, that's exactly how you'll feel. we must be very careful about the metaphors we allow ourselves to use.
Motivational People Frustrated
One writes not to be read but to breathe...one writes to think, to pray, to analyze. one writes to clear one's mind, to dissipate one's fears, to face one's doubts, to look at one's mistakes--in order to retrieve them. one writes to capture and crystallize one's joy, but also to disperse one's gloom. like prayer--you go to it in sorrow more than joy, for help, a road back to 'grace'.
Prayer Mistake Writing
[raymond roussel] said that after his first book he expected that the next morning there would be a kind of aura around his person and that everyone in the street would be able to see that he had written a book. this is the obscure desire harboured by everyone who writes. it is true that the first text one writes is neither written for others, nor because one is what one is: one writes to become other than what one is. one tries to modify one's way of being through the act of writing.
Morning Book Writing
I hate it when i'm reading a comic, and the dialogue looks like stickers stuck on top to explain what's going on. for me the best is when your eye goes in a certain point and moves through the composition and then springs out on the dialogue, or gets confused in the image and then goes to the dialogue for an explanation.

Girl Hate Home
I hate the terminology of "costume" because my clothes are not costumes at all. i think they're high fashion, avant-garde, and more couture, definitely, and yes, some of my pieces are not particularly wearable, but i wouldn't say they're costumes, i'd say they're more couture.
Fashion Hate Thinking
