Building Quotes
-

Francis Bacon

The goal in blogging/ business/ inspiring non-fiction is to share a truth, or at least a truth as the writer sees it. To not just share it, but to spread it and to cause change to happen. You can do that in at least three ways: with research (your own or reporting on others), by building and describing conceptual structures, or with stories that resonate.
Seth Godin

One thing at a time, as in the days when I was building Joshua. If I had wanted to build all the boat at once, the enormity of the task would have crushed me.

I do not think anyone has the means of pulling it off—at the start.
Bernard Moitessier

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
