Why I write

“Amidst all this bustle it is not reason, which carries the prize, but eloquence; and no man needs ever despair of gaining proselytes to the most extravagant hypothosis, who has art enough to represent it in any favourable colors. The victory is not gained by the men at arms, who manage the pike and sword; but by the trumpeters, drummers and musicians of the army.” - David Hume (via @samheardoi

"Writing crystallizes thought (and forces you to think out your ideas more clearly) and crystallized thinking motivates positive action."
- Paul J. Meyer
