It lays one's devotion waste. There is really some excuse for the man who said, "I wish they'd remember that the charge to Peter was Feed my sheep; not Try experiments on my rats, or even, Teach my performing dogs new tricks. C. S. Lewis
The brain may take advice, but not the heart, and love, having no geography, knows no boundaries: weight and sink it deep, no matter, it will rise and find the surface. Truman Capote
I’m trying to decide Which way to go I think I made a wrong turn back there somewhere Didn’t cha know, didn’t cha know Tried to move but I lost my way Didn’t cha know, didn’t cha know Stopped to watch my emotions sway Didn’t cha know, didn’t cha know Knew the toll, but I would not pay Didn’t cha know, didn’t cha know Cause you never know where the cards may lay Time to save the world Where in the world is all the time So many things I still don’t know So many times I’ve changed my...

It is not merely enough to love literature if one wishes to spend one's life as a writer. It is a dangerous undertaking on the most primitive level. For, it seems to me, the act of writing with serious intent involves enormous personal risk. It entails the ongoing courage for self-discovery. It means one will walk forever on the tightrope, with each new step presenting the possiblity of learning a truth about oneself that is too terrible to bear. Harlan Ellison
John Steinbeck quote: "And, of course, people are interested only in themselves. If..."
And, of course, people are interested only in themselves. If a story is not about the hearer he will not listen. John Steinbeck
I am that gadfly which God has attached to the state, and all day long …arousing and persuading and reproaching…You will not easily find another like me. Plato
Sometimes, when you don't ask questions, it's not because you are afraid that someone will lie to your face. It's because you're afraid they'll tell you the truth. Jodi Picoult
I'm always amazed that people will actually choose to sit in front of the television and just be savaged by stuff that belittles their intelligence. Alice Walker
Even voting for the right is doing nothing for it. It is only expressing to men feebly your desire that it should prevail.

Thomas Fuller quote: "A few books well chosen, and well made use of will be more..."
A few books well chosen, and well made use of will be more profitable than a great confused Alexandrian library. Thomas Fuller
If sacrificing herself for her husband's sake were to prove the last thing that Jassi ever did willingly for her new master . . . well, then, so be it, however bitter the taste to Carcharos. Pride had always been his substitute for honor, but his pride was so long gone from him that he could barely recall the feel of it. And so be that, too. Peter S. Beagle
