Wallace Stegner
“How to write a story, though ignorant or baffled. You take something that is important to you, something you have brooded about. You try to see it as clearly as you can, and to fix it in a transferable equivalent. All you want in the finished print is the clean statement of the lens, which is yourself, on the subject that has been absorbing your attention. Sure, it's autobiography. Sure, it's fiction. Either way, if you have done it right, it's true.”
Wallace Stegner, Where the Bluebird Sings to the Lemonade Springs: Living and Writing in the West

Dashiell Hammett
“Samuel Spade’s jaw was long and bony, his chin a jutting v under the more flexible v of his mouth. His nostrils curved back to make another, smaller, v. His yellow-grey eyes were horizontal. The v motif was picked up again by thickish brows rising outward from twin creases above a hooked nose, and his pale brown hair grew down—from high flat temples—in a point on his forehead. He looked rather pleasantly like a blond satan.”
Dashiell Hammett, The Maltese Falcon

Aimee Cabo Nikolov
“Unconditional Love conquers all!”
Aimee Cabo Nikolov, Love is the Answer God is the Cure

M. Scott Peck
“If we know exactly where we're going, exactly how to get there, and exactly what we'll see along the way, we won't learn anything. ”
Scott Peck

Ki Longfellow
“Villains are always the hero in their own story. Villains always have a reason for what villainy they get up to.”
Ki Longfellow, Houdini Heart
