"Write every day, line by line, page by page, hour by hour. Do this despite fear. For above all else, beyond imagination and skill, what the world asks of you is courage, courage to risk rejection, ridicule and failure. As you follow the quest for stories told with meaning and beauty, study thoughtfully but write boldly. Then, like the hero of the fable, your dance will dazzle the world."

"اكتب كل يوم، سطرًا سطرًا، صفحةً صفحةً، ساعةً ساعةً. افعل هذا رغم الخوف. ففوق كل شيء، أبعد من الخيال والمهارة، ما يطلبه منك العالم هو الشجاعة، شجاعة المخاطرة بالرفض والسخرية والفشل. وبينما تتبع سعيك وراء القصص المروية بالمعنى والجمال، ادرس بتأنٍ ولكن اكتب بجرأة. حينها، وكبطل الأسطورة، سيبهر رقصك العالم."
Robert McKee
"True character is revealed in the choices a human being makes under pressure - the greater the pressure, the deeper the revelation, the truer the choice to the character's essential nature."
"إن جوهر المرء يتجلى في خياراته تحت وطأة الضغوط؛ فكلما اشتدت المحنة، تعمقت البصيرة، وازدادت الخيارات صدقًا لأصل الفطرة."

"Good story' means something worth telling that the world wants to hear. Finding this is your lonely task... But the love of a good story, of terrific characters and a world driven by your passion, courage, and creative gifts is still not enough. Your goal must be a good story well told."
"الحكاية الجيدة هي ما يستحق أن يُروى، ويصغي إليه العالم بشغف. العثور على ذلك هو مهمتك المنفردة... لكن مجرد حب الحكاية الجيدة، والشخصيات الآسرة، والعالم الذي ينسجه شغفك وجسارتك ومواهبك الخلاقة، لا يكفي وحده. غايتك ينبغي أن تكون حكاية جيدة، تُسرد على أكمل وجه."

"When talented people write badly, it's generally for one of two reasons: Either they're blinded by an idea they feel compelled to prove of they're driven by an emotion they must express. When talented people write well, it is generally for this reason: They're moved by a desire to touch the audience."
"عندما تسوء كتابة الموهوبين، فغالبًا ما يكون ذلك لأحد سببين: إما أن تُعمي بصيرتهم فكرةٌ يُلحّ عليهم إثباتها، أو تدفعهم عاطفةٌ لا يملكون إلا التعبير عنها. أما عندما تُجيد كتابة الموهوبين، فغالبًا ما يكون ذلك لسبب واحد: وهو أنهم يُحرّكهم الشوق إلى ملامسة وجدان المتلقي."
