“Looking backward through life, one can see the points of change like great locks through which one glides on a flood wave, so smoothly, on such irresistible power that one is hardly aware of any movement. But life is never the same again. One has gone through the lock and lives on a new level.”
Mary O'Hara, Green Grass of Wyoming

“I'll go on writing till the end of my days. I have been writing too long to stop.”
Mary O'Hara

“Sooner or later every writer evolves his own definition of a story.

Mine is: A reflection of life plus beginning and end (life seems not to have either) and a meaning.”
Mary O'Hara, Een zoele zomer in Wyoming
