There is no revelation in my words. I am merely stating what others have forgotten to write down.
We are told that in translation there is no such thing as equivalence. Many times the translator reaches a fork in the translating road where they must make a choice in the interpretation of a word. And each time they make one of these choices, they are taken further from the truth. But what we aren__ told is that this isn__ a shortcoming of translation; it__ a shortcoming of language itself. As soon as we try to put reality into words, we limit it. Words are not reality, they are the cause of reality, and thus reality is always more. Writers aren't alchemists who transmute words into the aurous essence of the human experience. No, they are glassmakers. They create a work of art that enables us to see inside to help us understand. And if they are really good, we can see our own reflections staring back at us.
Writing is like breathing for my soul.
I have the heart of an artist and the soul of a writer.
Give all of life__ oxygen to the fire that is your soul.
Epiphanies awaken the soul.
A writer__ uniqueness glows and transforms the heart and the soul of a reader.
Write what speaks to your soul.
If you don__ think screenwriting is a work of art, good luck in your life without a soul.
The personal screenplay- where you dive into the terrifying depths of your soul, unearth the most intimate details about yourself, and put it on paper for the world to see. Proceed with caution, for madness lies ahead.
Fly with a kind heart, a light spirit, and a resilient soul.
Good food warms the heart and feeds the soul.
Close your eyes. Hear the silent snow. Listen to your soul speak.
Writing in the dark is hard, but you have to light your own candle and do it anyway.
Her words are her wings. She's flying.
The best writing speaks when the heart whispers.
When your heart is open, your eyes see the beauty that is all around you.
