![I never have [suffered writer’s block], although I’ve had books that didn’t work out. I had to stop writing them. I just abandoned them. It was depressing, but it wasn’t the end of the world. When it really isn’t working, and you’ve been bashing yourself against the wall, it’s kind of a relief. I mean, sometimes you bash yourself against the wall and you get through it. But sometimes the wall is just a wall. There’s nothing to be done but go somewhere else.](/assets/img/quote-photos/i-never-have-suffered-writers-block-although-ive-had-books-that-didnt-work.jpg)

wall ice wind
Percy glanced over. He saw the fallen giant and seemed to understand what was happening. He yelled something that was lost in the wind, probably: Go! Then he slammed Riptide into the ice at his feet. The entire glacier shuddered. Ghosts fell to their knees. Behind Percy, a wave surged up from the bay-a wall of gray water even taller than the glacier. Water shot from the chasms and crevices in the ice. As the wave hit, the back half of the camp crumbled. The entire edge of the glacier peeled away, cascading into the void-carrying buildings, ghosts, and Percy Jackson over the edge. Rick Riordan
wall sadness cat
His whole being radiates a pure, wild sweetness, flitting through night woods with little melodious cries, on some cryptic errand.

William S. Burroughs
wall garden light
The light struck upon the trees in the garden, making one leaf transparent and then another. One bird chirped high up; there was a pause; another chirped lower down.

The blind stirred slightly, but all within was dim and unsubstantial. The birds sang their blank melody outside. Virginia Woolf
wall democracies-have government
All deductions having been made, democracy has done less harm, and more good, than any other form of government.

It broke down the walls of privilege and class, and in each generation it raised up ability from every rank and place. Will Durant
block colorado early guys hard lead leadership night somebody takes
I would take a 3-0 lead every night. We didn't quit. Some guys think it's easy. It's hard to win. It's uncomfortable to win. I thought we were into it early and let Colorado off the hook.
