Ever wish you had recorded that weird call you had gotten? THAT STRANGE CONVERSATION at work? Find it hard to relate it as narrative within context?

“I have always believed that an event has not happened until it has passed through the mind of a creative artist able to explain its significance. I suppose that is why from the earliest times we have had narrators who sat around campfires at night to recount the heroic adventures of that day. Because those adventures really did not happen until they were crystallized into words and comprehensions.” - James Michener

"To exercise your right of free expression you have to fight against economic pressure and against strong sections of public opinion, but not, as yet, against a secret police force.” - Eric Blair

“Looking back, I don’t think people remember my time there particularly fairly, to be completely honest. If you compare what I did there to what the likes of Ian Rush and David Beckham did in Italy, I think it’s interesting that I’m the one portrayed as having had a negative experience. Over time, you come to realise that people recall what’s put in front of them rather than what actually takes place – they don’t bother to find out the reality for themselves most of the time. That’s how it is – it’s nothing for me to get annoyed about. Those who know me see my time in Milan as being exciting and positive." - Luther Blissett

“So next time you don’t get the results you want right away when interacting with a friend, coworker, business person or family member, pause and ask yourself: what blood am I trying to squeeze from this turnip… and why?” - Evelyn Brooks

"The beet is the melancholy vegetable, the one most willing to suffer. You can’t squeeze blood out of a turnip…" - Tom Robbins
