“Jamison keeps the last line of a poem on her desk that draws her in when things go dark and she is exhausted by the futile attempts to pull meaning from life. it is from Douglas Dunn's "Disenchantments," and I have copied the line to help me through my darkest hours. "Look to the living, love them, and hold on.”

“Writers remember everything...especially the hurts. Strip a writer to the buff, point to the scars, and he'll tell you the story of each small one. From the big ones you get novels. A little talent is a nice thing to have if you want to be a writer, but the only real requirement is the ability to remember the story of every scar.
Art consists of the persistence of memory.”
― Stephen King, Misery

“If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
