“...a person should always be looking around for new experiences. Life just ends up being the same old thing every day if you don't.”
Laura Best, This Is It, Lark Harnish

“Never settle for things just because folks think you should," Mama told me later. "You can do whatever you set your mind to. Don't be afraid to dream big, Lark.”
Laura Best, This Is It, Lark Harnish

“Life gives us challenges, and it's up to us to decide what to do with those challenges.”
Laura Best, This Is It, Lark Harnish

“If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.”
Stephen King

“Who would then deny that when I am sipping tea in my tearoom I am swallowing the whole universe with it and that this very moment of my lifting the bowl to my lips is eternity itself transcending time and space?”
Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki, Zen and Japanese Culture

“Writing for children is important to me because I want children to develop the same love of books I had as a child.”
Darlene Foster, Amanda in Alberta: The Writing on the Stone

“The hippie pirates were rather old and slightly stooped, but that didn't stop them from consulting their beloved maps and planning their next grand pirate voyage. They would always be young at heart; everyone said so.”
Lana Shupe, The Hippie Pirates

Diane McGyver, the Salvation of Mary Lola Barnes
