“Perhaps it is just as well to be rash and foolish for a while. If writers were too wise, perhaps no books would get written at all. It might be better to ask yourself 'Why?' afterward than before.

There is no agony like bearing an untold story inside you.”
― Zora Neale Hurston, Dust Tracks on a Road

“Kaz, this whole 'shoot me' thing is starting to concern me.”
