Seamus Heaney
Irish Poet
I have always thought of poems as stepping stones in one's own sense of oneself. Every now and again, you write a poem that gives you self-respect and steadies your going a little bit farther out in the stream. At the same time, you have to conjure the next stepping stone because the stream, we hope, keeps flowing.
Quote examples
Ruth Ozeki
Canadian Novelist
There's something about the idea of writing, and thinking about writing as a form of prayer - the way as a writer you call out into the world and throw your words into the world. You're not praying to a god, but you're almost conjuring a reader to arrive. That's what books do: they're an invitation to readers.
Quote examples
Thomas J. Stanley
American Writer
Before you can become a millionaire, you must learn to think like one. You must learn how to motivate yourself to counter fear with courage. Making critical decisions about your career, business, investments and other resources conjures up fear, fear that is part of the process of becoming a financial success.

Thomas Sowell
American Economist
I suspect that even most conservatives would prefer to live in the kind of world conjured up in the liberals' imagination rather than in the kind of world we are in fact stuck with.

Nothing beats an 'Archers' fan for their levels of devotion. I think it's because it's radio, and you obviously conjure up an image of the character that is so powerful.

Greg Boyle
American Clergyman
What is ultimately compelling for our children in helping them conjure images of a future for themselves is our willingness to walk with them as they do it.

I feel the emotion that life conjures up and the songs I write get me closer to my feelings and realising who I am. It's a natural process.
