“There’s no such thing as writer’s block, so long as you’ve had plenty of time to think about what you want to write.”
“As the daydreams grew longer, the distinction between what was real and what was imaginary grew less. Soon I existed in a blissful world of my own creation.”
“You can escape completely, seeking an alternative life, or you can play the game and go absent without leave. How you do it is up to you.”
“Having a fishing rod in your hand is merely an excuse to explore out-of-sight depths and reveal mysteries that previously only existed in dreams.”
“We are so blinkered by progress, so preoccupied with where we want to go and how fast we can travel, that many of us have lost the ability to simply ‘stop’.”
“What I am interested in, what I write and care about, exists in the slow lane, somewhere between hand-ploughed fields and a pint of real ale.”
“I keep on dreaming, but to find freedom, one must first search inwards.”
“There is a difference between ‘off-limits’ and those places you can visit without getting caught.”
“Those with traditional sense will follow what their heart tells them is right.”
“Find a part of yourself hidden in the twilight.”
“Life. It’s about adventure, of having a dream and following it.”
“Doing nothing can be as rewarding as doing something. And doing very little can be as productive, in a creative sense, as doing a lot.”

“Reality is in the ether, a blend of present-day experiences infused with one’s memories and dreams. A life that is real to one is surreal to another.”
“Believe in something important. Pursue it wholeheartedly.”
“Seek a slower, simpler life.”
“Often I have found myself gazing up at clouds – yesterday’s seas and tomorrow’s streams – to think of them as floating on an ultraviolet sea, beyond which is the infinity of space that presents so much wonder and so many questions.”
“Sentiments, as I have found, can be harvested from places where our memories are fondest.”
“Walk free from the long shadows cast by small people.”
“I’ll be off exploring, searching for those out-of-bounds places where dreams exist.”
