“To put everything in balance is good, to put everything in harmony is better.”
― Victor Hugo

“Ultimately, your theme will find you. You don't have to go looking for it.”
― Richard Russo

“A book is not supposed to be a mirror. It's supposed to be a door.”
― Fran Lebowitz

“Contented speckled hens, industriously scratching for the rarely-found corn, may sometimes do more for a sick heart than a grove of nightingales; there is something irresistibly calming in the unsentimental cheeriness of top-knotted pullets, unpetted sheep-dogs, and patient cart-horses enjoying a drink of muddy water.”
― George Eliot, Complete Works of George Eliot
