A quote from When breath becomes air:

“Science may provide the most useful way to organize empirical, reproducible data, but its power to do so is predicated on its inability to grasp the most central aspects of human life: hope, fear, love, hate, beauty, envy, honor, weakness, striving, suffering, virtue.”

“People need trouble -- a little frustration to sharpen the spirit on, toughen it. Artists do; I don't mean you need to live in a rat hole or gutter, but you have to learn fortitude, endurance. Only vegetables are happy.” - William Faulkner

“You have to think before you write because great headlines aren’t great sentences—they’re great ideas expressed in words. Remember, you’re a creative first and writer second.” — Dan Nelken, A Self-Help Guide for Copywriters
