Great loves have legs and wings. They are substantial. They do not dissapate so easily... Great loves have staying power. Or so I told myself. Erica Jong
Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth. Madeleine L'Engle
You've only got to begin to do anything to find out how few honest, honourable people there are. Sometimes, when I can't sleep, I think: "Oh Lord, you've given us huge forests, infinite fields, and endless horizons, and we, living here, ought really to be giants. Anton Chekhov
A. Whitney Brown quote: "When you really want to say no, say no. You can't do..."
When you really want to say no, say no. You can't do everything - or at least not well. A. Whitney Brown
