In three ways:

1) I stop writing and start reading. I read with pencil and eraser in hand, underlining and writing notes in the margins. The more I read and the more I begin to explore the ideas of other writers, I become inspired, and the block goes away.

2) I go over my diaries and find old ideas that simply need reworking and polishing. I work on those, which is easier than writing something new.

3) I listen to Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms – the "three giant B's" – and remember how very little time there is left to create masterpieces of this level! (less)

Quotes by Nicos Hadjicostis  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“By allowing the group of people whom we call “our loved ones” to continually expand, we realize that this group is actually limitless. It is only narrow-mindedness and a superficial convention that makes us divide people into friends and strangers. The world-traveler soon learns to see in every person he interacts with a potential friend .”
― Nicos Hadjicostis, Destination Earth- A New Philosophy of Travel by a World-Traveler

“What a pity that the Earth, in spite of modern transport, still remains unknown to most. We are all extraterrestrials on Earth! Soon after we set out to explore the world, we realize that we have been living on an unknown planet all along. Paradoxically, the moment one becomes a world-traveler, he simultaneously becomes an extraterrestrial exploring an alien planet.”
― Nicos Hadjicostis, Destination Earth- A New Philosophy of Travel by a World-Traveler

“The merchant increases the speed of the city. The musician slows it down. The merchant intensifies the urban stress, the noise, the chaos. The musician makes you slow down, find your center. This holds true in all cities and countries.”
― Nicos Hadjicostis, Destination Earth- A New Philosophy of Travel by a World-Traveler

“Write the book you want to read, the one you cannot find.”
― Carol Shields

“All problems of existence are essentially problems of Harmony.”
― Sri Aurobindo

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
― Oscar Wilde

“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Don’t walk in front of me… I may not follow
Don’t walk behind me… I may not lead
Walk beside me… just be my friend”
― Albert Camus
