You are willing to die, you coward, but not to live. Herman Hesse
E.L. Doctorow said once said that 'Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.' You don't have to see where you're going, you don't have to see your destination or everything you will pass along the way. You just have to see two or three feet ahead of you.

We're all watching each other, so there's no chance for censorship. The main problem is the idiot TV. If you watch local news, your head will turn to mush. Ray Bradbury

Do I dare Disturb the universe? In a minute there is time For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse. T. S. Eliot
Ho! Ho! Ho! To the bottle I go. To heal my heart and drown my woe. Rain may fall, and wind may blow. And many miles be still to go. But under a tall tree will I lie. And let the clouds go sailing by J. R. R. Tolkien
Ken Kesey quote: "In any given situation there will always be more dumb people..."
In any given situation there will always be more dumb people than smart people. We ain't many! Ken Kesey
