“It’s those silly dreams that keep us alive.”
Lisa Shambrook

“You never have to change anything you got up in the middle of the night to write.”
Saul Bellow

“They might not need me; but they might.
I'll let my head be just in sight;
A smile as small as mine might be
Precisely their necessity.”
Emily Dickenson

“I did not want to think about people. I wanted the trees, the scents and colors, the shifting shadows of the wood, which spoke a language I understood. I wished I could simply disappear in it, live like a bird or a fox through the winter, and leave the things I had glimpsed to resolve themselves without me.”
Patricia A. McKillip, Winter Rose
