Drag your thoughts awayfrom your troubles... by the ears, by the heels, or any other way you can manage it. Mark Twain
To let a sad thought or a bad one get into your mind is as dangerous as letting a scarlet fever germ get into your body. If you let it stay there after it has got in, you may never get over it as long as you live. Frances Hodgson Burnett
Willa Cather quote: "Let your fiction grow out of the land beneath your feet."
Let your fiction grow out of the land beneath your feet. Willa Cather
He remembered having said to his uncle (with a solemn dogmatism better befitting a much younger man): "Surely it is possible to love with the head as well as the heart." Mr. Delagardie had replied, somewhat drily: "No doubt; so long as you do not end by thinking with your entrails instead of your brain. Dorothy L. Sayers
