“I used to feel guilty about spending morning hours working on a book; about fleeing to the brook in the afternoon. It took several summers of being totally frazzled by September to make me realize that this was a false guilt.

The time at the typewriter and the time at the brook refresh me and put me into a more workable perspective.”
― Madeleine L'Engle, The Summer of the Great-Grandmother
