Tom Hart's Brian Eno comic from Tower Records Pulse! magazine (March 1996) has remained one of my favorite things for 30 years.
Brian Eno comic

1. Brian Eno in a yellow conical hat laying on a beach: "Brian Eno examines the reconfiguration of pebbles and shells that the waves leave behind."
2. Eno, now playing a cymbal with a tape recorder near by: "He is on a beach with a cymbal and a tape recorder."

3. Eno crashing his cymbal at the waves, "He tries to approximate the waves with his cymbal each time they rush to shore."

4. Eno, laying down over his pebbles and shells, looks off panel at the next panel.
5. A green alien dinosaur-like family of three is looking at their own cluster of pebbles and shells, "A native family near by is also examining the pebbles."

6. Eno stands up over the pebbles, looking towards the family again.
7. The family continues playing on the beach around the pebbles and shells, "He longs to ask them -- but he is embarrassed. This is not his planet."
8. Eno looks up at a crescent moon and stars in the sky, "Night time falls with night sounds and night smells."
9. Next to his cymbal and tape recorder Eno spins, "Brian Eno chooses to spin."

I always like the end of the famous passage from William James’s Will to Believe on this…
Believe truth! Shun error!—these, we see, are two materially different laws; and by choosing between them we may end by coloring differently our whole intellectual life. We may regard the chase for truth as paramount, and the avoidance of error as secondary; or we may, on the other hand, treat the avoidance of error as more imperative, and let truth take its chance. Clifford, in the instructive passage which I have quoted, exhorts us to the latter course. Believe nothing, he tells us, keep your mind in suspense forever, rather than by closing it on insufficient evidence incur the awful risk of believing lies. You, on the other hand, may think that the risk of being in error is a very small matter when compared with the blessings of real knowledge, and be ready to be duped many times in your investigation rather than postpone indefinitely the chance of guessing true.
I myself find it impossible to go with Clifford. We must remember that these feelings of our duty about either truth or error are in any case only expressions of our passional life. Biologically considered, our minds are as ready to grind out falsehood as veracity, and he who says, "Better go without belief forever than believe a lie!" merely shows his own preponderant private horror of becoming a dupe. He may be critical of many of his desires and fears, but this fear he slavishly obeys. He cannot imagine any one questioning its binding force. For my own part, I have also a horror of being duped; but I can believe that worse things than being duped may happen to a man in this world: so Clifford's exhortation has to my ears a thoroughly fantastic sound. It is like a general informing his soldiers that it is better to keep out of battle forever than to risk a single wound. Not so are victories either over enemies or over nature gained. Our errors are surely not such awfully solemn things. In a world where we are so certain to incur them in spite of all our caution, a certain lightness of heart seems healt…

Le Guin on the idea that there is a secret to getting good at writing.
I will dispose of the first myth as quickly as possible. The “secret” is skill. If you haven’t learned how to do something, the people who have may seem to be magicians, possessors of mysterious secrets. In a fairly simple art, such as making pie crust, there are certain teachable “secrets” of method that lead almost infallibly to good results; but in any complex art, such as housekeeping, piano-playing, clothes-making, or story-writing, there are so many techniques, skills, choices of method, so many variables, so many “secrets,” some teachable and some not, that you can learn them only by methodical, repeated, long-continued practice — in other words, by work.
