“Nobody writes a book. What you write every day is a piece of a book, a fragment, a scene.”
Philip Gerard

“The fastest way to write is to pretend you have all the time in the world.”
Philip Gerard

“She clearly had the gift. Partly, the gift was just plain, old-fashioned love. Partly, it was a questioning intelligence. Real teachers had a kind of longing, a searching excitement of soul. They wanted to find out things. They didn’t settle for the old, easy answers. They lived in their minds more than in the world.”
Philip Gerard, Cape Fear Rising
