In short, Daniel was once again a member of a family. Viewed from without they were a strange enough family: a rattling, hunchbacked old woman, a spoiled senile cocker spaniel, and a eunuch with a punctured career (for though Rey didn’t live with them, his off-stage presence was as abiding and palpable as that of any paterfamilias away every day at the office).

Trouble is, the box has holes in it and the time is running out, no matter what he does with it. Margaret Atwood
History cannot give us a program for the future, but it can give us a fuller understanding of ourselves, and of our common humanity, so that we can better face the future. Robert Penn Warren

We would be worse than we are without the good books we have read, more conformist, not as restless, more submissive, and the critical spirit, the engine of progress, would not even exist. Like writing, reading is a protest against the insufficiencies of life. When we look in fiction for what is missing in life, we are saying, with no need to say it or even to know it, that life as it is does not satisfy our thirst for the absolute? the foundation of the human condition? and should be better.... Mario Vargas Llosa

For me, each story is a little candle held up to the dark of night, trying to illuminate the hope for a better world where we all respect and care for each other. Charles de Lint
Flannery O'Connor quote: "Accepting oneself does not preclude an attempt to become better."
