Here is a list of my twenty seven favourite quotes by Jack Freestone (me).




Please note that I used to write under the name Robert Black, so many of these quotes and some of my old books will flag up on Google under the name Robert Black.

But I assure you they are all original, and mine!

“Writers begin with a grain of sand, and then create a beach.”

“Every time I think I am out of the woods, I am back in the fire.”

“Every second in the air in Paris is art.”

Quotes by Jack Freestone  (?)

“Sadly, you cannot convert fame to intelligence.”
Jack Freestone

“I go on the same walk once or twice each week. There is one part of the walk, around one kilometre, which is my favourite part. And when I walk down that short part, I get the most remarkable ideas, especially related to my writing, often quotes. At some point, I recognized this as a pattern, and so now it always occurs, like magic. I have always felt that certain geographical areas vary in energy, some good for me, and some less good, even bad energy. Countries, areas, and cities vary in this way. So, when you find that special energy place, you can collect good energy, and other benefits, from simply walking through it.”
Jack Freestone

“If we are all streams of consciousness, then apart from genetic similarities, and conditioning, we are all strangers to our siblings.”
Jack Freestone

“People are like icebergs, you only see ten percent of them.”
Jack Freestone

“The saying, “They sold their soul to the Devil for fame,” has been proven to be accurate. Even if people initially gained fame due to their talents and skills rather than from outside assistance, they inevitably sold it later to maintain that elevated level of fame, fortune, and status.”
Jack Freestone

“When you lie and do wrongs to others, you lie and do wrongs to yourself. That is why it is impossible to escape karma, in the long term.”
Jack Freestone

“Like many things, politics only exists in the minds of the citizens.”
Jack Freestone

“If a plant is wild, living in a forest, it is not reliant on you at all. Dig that plant up, and resettle it in your garden, then it is slightly reliant on you. But if you put that plant in a pot, and bring it into your house, then it is totally reliant on you. It can no longer be called wild, and no longer survive, or breed, without your help. And that is what your leaders are constantly trying to do to you.”
