Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven,
that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate,
but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Alfred Lord Tennyson

When I realized that my big dream was going to come true - “Night Shift” was a success, “Splash” was a success, I got the job to do “Cocoon” ‐suddenly, I was underway. And I knew my name was rising up the lists. I was going to have a career. I was going to be able to direct movies until I screwed it up.
Ron Howard

I start every morning at 7 or 7:30 in the same place ‐my little office where it's dark and cozy ‐ with a cup of the same really strong black coffee. It's my little cocoon. There's no phone or fax or Internet. And no music.
John Grisham

What is wonderful about great literature is that it transforms the man who reads it towards the condition of the man who wrote, and brings to birth in us also the creative impulse.
E. M. Forster
