Jim Harrison
“How wonderful it was to love something without the compromise of language.”
Jim Harrison, The River Swimmer: Novellas

Richard Ford
“Though possibly it–the answer–is simple: it is just low-life, some coldness in us all, some helplessness that causes us to misunderstand life when it is pure and plain, makes our existence seem like a border between two nothings, and makes us no more or less than animals who meet on the road-watchful, unforgiving, without patience or desire.”
Richard Ford, Rock Springs

Barry Lopez
“To be inspired is to feel God funnelling into one's work. We always want light from the darkness. We know something is there before we see it. The objective for a writer is to try to get some part of the face of a God on a piece of paper. It is a fearful undertaking going into something profound without knowing what you are looking for. Beauty is incomprehensible. Isn't that what God is? Witnessing the loss of beauty and the enduring effort to restore beauty, isn't this God?”
Barry Lopez

Seamus Heaney
“The main thing is to write
for the joy of it. Cultivate a work-lust
that imagines its haven like your hands at night
dreaming the sun in the sunspot of a breast.
You are fasted now, light-headed, dangerous.
Take off from here.”
Seamus Heaney, Station Island

Dr. Seuss
“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.
-Dr. Seuss”
Dr Seuss, Oh, the Places You'll Go!
