(On theory)
“Sometimes
you need to change the equation to fit the conclusion.”
From Planet
Alt-Sete-Nine: Princess Haylee by BJ Neblett
(On
memories)
“Do
not deny your memories and they will come about on their own, as you need them.”
The Oracle Lekly from Planet
Alt-Sete-Nine: Princess Haylee by BJ Neblett
(On
education and learning)
“Sometimes
we are not fully prepared for the lessons we learn or the answers we so eagerly
seek.”
Princess Haylee from Planet
Alt-Sete-Nine: Princess Haylee by BJ Neblett
(On
history)
“When
all of our history is removed, there will be no history from which to learn.”
Wizard Inhodu from Planet

(On
writers)
“The
trouble with writers is they aren’t as smart as their characters.”
BJ Neblett
(On
confidence)
“Women
always say they want a man who is confident. Confidence isn’t knowing what you
want for the rest of your life. Confidence is knowing what you want for lunch.”
BJ Neblett
(About
time travel and man’s dreams)
“Man
is a malcontent; a disaffected sojourner, seeking Elysium. Someday, when we can
freely move in time, through space, even into the other dimensions, I’m afraid
we will be disappointed. Like Alice, man, too, will discover life isn’t any
better – or worse – through the looking glass, only different.”
Collin Crowly from Elysian
Dreams by BJ Neblett (12-2011)
“The
things we keep hidden deepest inside are often those that need most to be
released.”
Princess Haylee from Princess Haylee by BJ Neblett (9-2016)
“I
am just a roadside attraction on your journey down life’s highway, a place you
stop briefly before moving on. Years from now, in a long-forgotten box of
memories, you’ll come across one of my souvenirs and think of me. And maybe
you’ll smile.”
BJ Neblett (8-2016)
“Every
journey must proceed at its own pace, each step following the other in its
proper order. For that is the way of life.”
Planet Alt-Sete-Nine by BJ Neblett (7-2016)
“It’s
not what you see, but what you believe. It’s not what you fear, but what you
trust. It’s not what you love, but the love you give.”
Princess Haylee from Princess Haylee by BJ Neblett (7-2016)
“It’s
not what is said, it’s how it is spoken; it’s not what you write, it’s how it
is written; it’s not what’s implied, it’s what’s inferred.”
BJ Neblett (from the
essay Flash Fiction 12-2015)
“You’ve
got to have ice cream to write good romance.”
BJ Neblett
“The
half empty container of warm beer in my hand was the perfect metaphor for our
relationship.”
From Beer And Broken Dreams (short story in Never
Let A Vegetarian Pack Your Lunch And Other Lover
Stories) by BJ Neblett
“Some
of my best writing has come at the hands of heartache and frustration. Being
totally crazy about someone you cannot have is great food for inspiration.”
From Beer And Broken Dreams (short story in Never
Let A Vegetarian Pack Your Lunch And Other Lover
Stories) by BJ Neblett
“The two greatest assets
we are afforded in life are observation and experience. Observation is
knowledge, the building blocks of understanding. Experience is power, the
sturdy foundation on which we build our lives.”

a writer can have are an unbridled imagination and to have lived an unabashed

all victims of our rearing, carrying the sins of our fathers like so much
baggage; fearful of the demons inside escaping.”

“Remembering
the past is one thing; living in it is another. If you don’t enjoy today, you
won’t have any memories of it tomorrow.”
From Static (short
story from Wouldn’t It Be Funny If…) by BJ Neblett
“We are the sum total of our experiences.
Those experiences – be they positive or negative – make us the person we are,
at any given point in our lives. And, like a flowing river, those same
experiences, and those yet to come, continue to influence and reshape the
person we are, and the person we become. None of us are the same as we were
yesterday, nor will be tomorrow.”
