    Leading Blog: A Leadership Blog @ LeadershipNow: Alan Greenspan: The Age of Turbulence

    A collection of many interesting quotes from Alan Greenspan's new book, "The Age of Turbulence."

    Quoted: Venice, I realized, is the antithesis of creative destruction. It exists to conserve and appreciate the past, not create a future. But that, I realized, is exactly the point. The city caters to a deep human need for stability and permanence as well as beauty and romance. Venice’s popularity represents one pole of a conflict in human nature: the struggle between the desire to increase material well-being and the desire to ward off change and its attendant stress.”

    Guardian Unlimited: Arts blog - books: Artwork-work balance: how to write novels and cheques

    An interesting question which is not fully-explored by the article. It's something I'd like to write mroe about in the future as I've always felt that the way I write at my job has indeed changed the way I write creatively, and usually not in ways that make my writing better.

    Quoted: Making a living from novels or poetry isn't always possible. Do the paying jobs authors take affect their books?

    Quoted: Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay! Perhaps it's not the right tone to be so giddy for what I'm sure will be a sobering reading experience, but who cares? I was very happy this morning to discover via the "Amazon Newsstand" Plog that William T. Vollmann has released a new book, this time going where others truly fear to tread, into the heart of poverty.
