He best thing to do is to loosen my grip on my pen and let it go wandering about until it finds an entrance. There must be one — everything depends on the circumstances, a rule applicable as much to literary style as to life. Each word tugs another one along, one idea another, and that is how books, governments and revolutions are made — some even say that is how Nature created her species. Machado De Assis

There must be one – everything depends on the circumstances, a rule applicable as much as possible to life. Each word tugs another one along, one idea another, and that is how books, governments and revolutions are made – some even say that is how Nature created her species." -Aldous Huxley.
