I'm very open to the up-and-comers.

Bob Newhart

Don't try to guess what sort of thing editors want to publish or what you think the country is in a mood to read. Editors and readers don't know what they want to read until they read it. Besides, they're always looking for something new.

William Zinsser

The praise we give to new comers into the world arises from the envy we bear to those who are established.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

making final judgements about poets, cities or regions on the basis of an anthology is always dangerous: anthologies are mirages created, finally, by their editors.

Margaret Atwood

When I started graduate school we did this publishing class where we learned about submitting and read interviews with editors from different magazines. A lot of them said they got so many submissions that unless the first page stuck out or the first paragraph or even the first sentence they'll probably send it back. So part of my idea was that if I have a really good first sentence maybe they'll read on a bit further. At least half, maybe more of the stories in Knockemstiff started with the first sentence; I got it down then went from there.

Donald Ray Pollock

I believe 168 is my division and I'm willing to take on all-comers.

Callum Smith

As you accept the responsibility to seek after truth with an open mind and a humble heart, you will become more tolerant of others, more open to listen, more prepared to understand, more inclined to build up instead of tearing down, and you will be more willing to go where God wants you to go.

Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Why do leaders fail? Isolation and inability to learn. They are afraid to express doubt, admit vulnerability or seek advice from subordinates. Leaders must actively work to seek feedback and a reality check. They must be open to asking questions and framing issues. As the world becomes more complex and global, the risk of isolation becomes greater. The need for leaders to be open to learning becomes greater. Great leaders will need to ask the right questions and balance inquiry with advocacy.

Robert S. Kaplan

Our aristocracy, unlike that of Europe, is open to all comers.

Josiah Strong

At ebb tide I wrote a line upon the sand, and gave it all my heart and all my soul. At flood tide I returned to read what I had inscribed and found my ignorance upon the shore.

Khalil Gibran

If you've got a good idea and you're willing to do whatever it takes to pursue it, keep your head up and eyes open because you don't know when opportunity will come knocking.

Paula Deen

Novelists may be able to seek advice from readers and editors, but in the end, it is up to them to get the book right.

Jon Weisman

I have an open mind and I'm willing to do whatever.

Peyton Hillis

I believe such illumination comes if you're open to the surprises the universe throws at you. You must be able to let go of the past, whatever success you may have seen, whatever your comfort, whatever your habits. To me, that's the key to loving life: Enabling yourself to step bravely into the unknown. Only there will you find yourself again.

Juliette Binoche

A lot of girls are open and willing to do whatever for whatever and don't realize that you do have control over your image and how you come across, and if you don't speak on it you will get taken advantage of and that's what they'll assume you're down to do.

Erica Mena

Jesus washes the feet of the Apostles. Are we ready to serve others like this.

Pope Francis
