“A lot of novelists start late—Conrad, Pirandello, even Mark Twain. When you're young, chess is all right, and music and poetry. But novel-writing is something else. It has to be learned, but it can't be taught. This bunkum and stinkum of college creative writing courses! The academics don't know that the only thing you can do for someone who wants to write is to buy him a typewriter.”
― James M Cain

“You only have to forgive once. To resent, you have to do it all day, every day.”
― M.L Stedman

“Scars are just another kind of memory.”
― M.L. Stedman, The Light Between Oceans
