“All of us have failed to match our dream of perfection. I rate us on the basis of our splendid failure to do the impossible. If I could write all my work again, I'm convinced I could do it better. This is the healthiest condition for an artist. That's why he keeps working, trying again: he believes each time that this time he will do it, bring it off. Of course he won't.”
― William Faulkner

Hullo new GR chum! Thank you so much for your friend request and the kind words you sent along with it. I love getting to know awesome folks who have similar experiences and literary tastes, and you certainly seem to be no exception. :)

Just a quick perusal of your shelves AND your favorite writers list is proof that we're going to get along smashingly. I very much look forward to getting to know you and chatting about books. Take care, man.
