Washington Irving

Daphne Sheldrick

Daphne Sheldrick

René Char
“I believe in the magic and authority of words.”

Annie Proulx
“We face up to awful things because we can't go around them, or forget them. The sooner you say 'Yes, it happened, and there's nothing I can do about it,' the sooner you can get on with your own life. You've got children to bring up. So you've got to get over it. What we have to get over, somehow we do. Even the worst things.”
Annie Proulx, The Shipping News
