Nathaniel Hawthorne
“The wet sidewalks gleam with a broad sheet of red light. The raindrops glitter as if the sky were pouring down rubies. The spouts gush with fire. Methinks the scene is an emblem of the deceptive glare which mortals throw around their footsteps in the moral world, thus bedazzling themselves till they forget the impenetrable obscurity that hems them in, and that can be dispelled only by radiance from above.”
Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Complete Works of Nathaniel Hawthorne

Lydia Davis
“He came out from somewhere at night and crept around the kitchen with a sharp razor in his white, fine-boned hand, shaving off slivers of meat, of nuts, of bread, until his plate, paper-thin, felt heavy to him.”
Lydia Davis, Break It Down: Stories

“Writing lets you be, say, and do anything. It's sugar for your ego and wings for your ideas.”
A.M. McKnight, Goslyn County

“The remedy for the mental unrest, which is in itself an illness, lies not in an enlightened knowledge of the harmfulness and ineffectiveness of worry, not even in the acquirement of an unconscious conscience, but in the living of a life so full and good that worry cannot find place in it. That”
Herbert J. Hall, The Untroubled Mind

“One day at a time, and the day is His day; He hath numbered its hours, though they haste or delay. His grace is sufficient; we walk not alone; As the day, so the strength that He giveth His own.”
Annie Johnson Flint, He Giveth More Grace: One Hundred Poems by Annie Johnson Flint
