		<description><![CDATA["I think we've been telling our students so long, 'Write what you know. Write your lived experience,' and I think our students have this idea that that means write about the time A, B, and C happened to me, but that's not really it. It's more, write what you can't stop thinking about. Write what’s on your mind."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["We all love to receive something either really beautiful or really intelligent, but what’s most exciting or engaging is when a work of art stimulates in you a new kind of thinking, or a new set of questions, or a new set of ideas that are happening in your own brain but that were instigated by the art."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["I think for a writer you don’t see a thing until you use the word for it and the more precise the word you can use the more precisely you see it. On the other hand, the word is an instrument in order to lead you to the thing and you can spin a whole lot of words around yourself for years and years and years, as the jeweler does, until it gets to the point where your primary relationship is with the language and not with the thing."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["… I don't write the book in any order, I just literally wake up and wonder about whatever immediately strikes me as interesting. Usually I have a question about something: 'What does she think at that point?' Or, 'What does he do?' Or, 'What does the cemetery look like in the autumn?' And I just start writing."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["When words no longer tell the truth, when words turn into lies, language dies, and we with the language. It is the first and foremost task of every poet, of every novelist, to write meaningful words, to write truthful words. You don't have to be religious, or a philosopher, or a great expert on Plato to realize that a language cannot be without truth."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["I didn't want to just hit the peaks of his life, I wanted to hit a number of the troughs too, small moments that aren't necessarily talked about or discussed or described in the biographies but that he, of course, experienced. They tend to be incredibly important to us as individuals. Just that flicker of sunlight on the grass that you remember from your childhood, which means nothing to you except it's such an extraordinarily warm, protective moment. Houdini would have had these too."]]></description>

When you're describing afterwards what's happened you're applying logic to something that really is intuitive. You're talking about ailerons and that sort of thing, like you're moving an airplane rather than the eagle."]]></description>
