Author humor:


How I look when someone asks me what I’m writing about … and their reaction.

Napoleon Hill, on imagination and writing:


First comes thought;
then organization of that thought, into ideas and plans;
then transformation of those plans into reality.
The beginning, as you will observe, is in your imagination.
