Quotes About Inconsistency

I'm always interested in how characters change and how they often act inconsistently. When people teach creative writing courses, one of the first things they teach is to keep your characters consistent. And this is bad advice because human beings are not consistent. The very moments that we're interested in are those moments in which they act inconsistently, out of character. They suddenly leap up. They can become larger than they really are. I'm interested in those moments.
~ Carol Shields
Sometimes, your child may function well, and other times, she will resist going to school, spill her milk, and fall. Expect inconsistency. When she stumbles, try to be understanding. Break challenges into small pieces. Encourage her to achieve one goal at a time to feel the satisfaction of a series of little successes. Remember that you have had years of experience in learning to deal with the world, and that the child has not.

~ Thomas Hardy
it must seem odd that Christian nationalists loudly reject "government" as a matter of principle even as they seek government power to impose their religious vision on the rest of society. America's slaveholders, too, revealed a similar inconsistency when they championed "states' rights" and at the same time demanded the assistance of the federal government in catching runaway slaves and defending the slave system.

I try not to tweet too much; I'm a really sporadic tweeter. I will tweet nonstop for, like, 3 days, and then I won't for a month. I don't make it priority at all; if I feel like doing it, I do it, and if not, then I don't care.
~ Elizabeth Gillies

All the rest of it has been so nice and even. And look at this! It's all over the place! Why, it looks as if she didn't know what she was about!

~ Susan Glaspell
