Patrick Rothfuss
“There are times when the mind is dealt such a blow it hides itself in insanity. While this may not seem beneficial, it is. There are times when reality is nothing but pain, and to escape that pain the mind must leave reality behind.”
Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind

Charles Dickens
“So may the New Year be a happy one to you, happy to many more whose happiness depends on you!”
Charles Dickens, The Chimes

Edward Hirsch
“I am a tiny seashell
that has secretly drifted ashore
and carries the sound of the ocean
surging through its body.”
Edward Hirsch

Neil Gaiman
“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes...you're Doing Something.”
Neil Gaiman

Amy Leach
“Whether people need nature or not, it was clear that nature needed people. But perhaps nature needs us like a hostage needs her captors: nature needs us not to annihilate her, not to run her over, not to cover her with cement, not to chop her down. We can hardly admire ourselves, then, when we stop to accommodate nature's needs: we are dubious heroes who create peril and then save it's victims, we who rescue the animals and the trees from ourselves.”
Amy Leach, Things That Are

Feel free to pop by and ask questions about my books, about Lyme Regis and about me! Or all matters Holmesian. Or anything.
