“I always grow poetic when I am lying to myself.”
― Ursula K. Le Guin, A Fisherman of the Inland Sea

“the writer is driven by his need to escape the limits of a too-small world, the World That Is. It’s in his blood to range farther than life can ever let him go.”
― Dwight V. Swain, Techniques of the Selling Writer

“If there were a party of those who aren't sure they're right, I'd belong to it.

“But emotion, for most people, too often is like some sort of slumbering giant, lulled to sleep by preoccupation with the dead facts of that outer world we call objective. When we look at a painting, we see a price tag. A trip is logistics more than pleasure. Romance dies in household routine. Yet life without feeling is a sort of death.”
― Dwight V. Swain, Techniques of the Selling Writer
