And by God, if you have intelligence enough to see that? and... J. D. Salinger

Rant Casey used to say, "No matter what happens, it's always now..." Talk about cryptic. I think what Rant meant was, we live in the present moment of reality, and no matter what's come before, no matter how much we loved a person or a dog, when it attacks us we'll react to that moment of danger. Chuck Palahniuk
We who make stories know that we tell lies for a living. But they are good lies that say true things, and we owe it to our readers to build them as best we can. Because somewhere out there is someone who needs that story. Someone who will grow up with a different landscape, who without that story will be a different person. And who with that story may have hope, or wisdom, or kindness, or comfort. And that is why we write. Neil Gaiman

And now that the training was complete and she was obediently trivial with him, he felt bereft of her and wanted to undo it. Jonathan Franzen
