Human translations are pretty expensive, so I’m hol

“It’s easy to forget that we’re all just trying to make it through the day sometimes.”
S.L. Rowland, Curses & Cocktails

“He knelt next to Snort and caressed the direpig behind the ears. “Are you going to be a brave girl for me?” She oinked in response and her tail stuck straight up. “Good girl.”
S.L. Rowland, Sword & Thistle

“Obviously, I know nothing of the north or the blood mages. Or the Guard for that matter. You’ve lived that life, and I’m sorry I was so insensitive. I should be asking questions, not making assumptions.”
S.L. Rowland, Cursed Cocktails

“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”
Ernest Hemingway

“Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.”
Ernest Hemingway

“Sometimes I write drunk and revise sober, and sometimes I write sober and revise drunk. But you have to have both elements in creation — the Apollonian and the Dionysian, or spontaneity and restraint, emotion and discipline.”
Peter De Vries, Reuben, Reuben

“I drink to make other people more interesting.”
Hemingway, Ernest

“All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.”
Ernest Hemingway
