"The mere process of writing is one of the most powerful tools we have for clarifying our own thinking. I am never as clear about any matter as when I have just finished writing about it."

--James Van Allen

"When I start a project, the first thing I do is write down, in longhand, everything I know about a subject, every thought I ever had on it. This may be twelve or fourteen pages. Then I read it through, for quite a few days...then I try to find out what are the salient points that I must make. And then it begins to take shape."

--Maya Angelo
