“Eureka" can be an answer to a question we have never asked. It can be the articulation of a sudden and unforeseen idea or the expression of a magic moment that throws us into a new world. It acts like a radiant sunbeam that comes out of the blue and illuminates a dim past, opening a new, dynamic horizon. It may even be a trivial but lucky encounter with new friends, who let us be what we are in our imagination: original and undifferentiated. (“Waiting for Eureka” )”
― Erik Pevernagie

“The answers you get depend on the questions you ask.”
― Thomas S. Kuhn

“A writer is one who communicates ideas and emotions people want to communicate but aren't quite sure how, or even if, they should communicate them.”

“To say! To know how to say! To know how to exist via the written voice and the intellectual image! This is all that matters in life; the rest is men and women, imagined loves and factitious vanities, the wiles of our digestion and forgetfulness, people squirming — like worms when a rock is lifted — under the huge abstract boulder of the meaningless blue sky.”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

“Vivid simplicity is the articulation, the nature of genius. Wisdom is greater than intelligence; intelligence is greater than philosobabble.”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy

― Thomas Hardy, The Mayor of Casterbridge

“Linguists tell us that we actually have not had a thought until we can articulate it through in writing. Therefore, the more we put our thoughts down on paper, the more firmly they are formed in our minds.”
― Jonathan Hayashi

“Discussions of the role of metaphor in poetry necessarily focus on the conceptual and linguistic levels, since the underlying sensate level that is below the level of consciousness cannot be articulated directly.”

“Darling, don’t say it’s me that you love,
But that you love how I make you feel on the weekends.
Don’t say you have to go, admit there’s nothing more to let me know.
Don’t say it was a good movie, tell me that it was a good break.
Don’t say you like her hair, tell me that it’s just different.
Don’t say your father’s evil, tell me that it’s ignorance.
Don’t say you feel like dying, tell me life would be better without bills.
Don’t say you hate crying, but that you hate when they see you ill.
Don’t say you love the winter, tell me you like the gifts.
Don’t say you want a vacation when you really want a kiss.”
― Karl Kristian Flores, The Goodbye Song

“She was trying to say something else; she was trying to say that the inability to articulate what one feels in any satisfactory was is one of our enduring tragedies. It wouldn't have been much, and it wouldn't have been useful, but it would have been something that reflected the gravity and the sadness inside her. Instead, she snapped at him for being a loser. It was as if she were trying to find a handhold on the boulder of her feelings, and had merely ended up with grit under her nails.”
― Nick Hornby, Juliet, Naked

“This unfortunate phenomenon happened throughout the professor’s career—the students, who could not bear natural interest in the lectures, profited off O’Hare’s passion. They rested their fangs on her neck and used her original elixir for their needs. If they did it unconsciously, then another phenomenon would occur. The students imitated their teachers. And it was the largest robbery of education.

By using the vocabulary of their passionate elders, young, ambitious minds convinced themselves and the world of something they did not believe in. Articulation was so personal. It was the result of countless experiences, people, readings, and reflections. When expressing an authentic belief, some ears were fooled by the speaker’s passion, which was like a contagious trance. So those ears applied others’ articulation as their own. By seeing O’Hare speak enthusiastically about a topic, one, with enough attention, could easily think they loved the topic, too.”
― Karl Kristian Flores, A Happy Ghost
