History ... Isn't Simply What

The Art Of Fiction Is Freedom Of Will For Your Characters.

One Reason Writers Write Is Out Of Revenge. Life Hurts; Certain Ideas And Experiences Hurt; One Wants To Clarify, To Set Out Illuminations, To Replay The Old Bad Scenes And Get The Treppenworte Said -- The Words One Didn't Have The Strength Or Ripeness To Say When Those Words Were Necessary For One's Dignity Or Survival.

It Isn't The Instrument That Influences High-minded Or Low-minded; It's The Quality Of Mind Itself.

Paradise Is Only For Those Who Have Already Been There.

When Something Does Not Insist On Being Noticed, When We Aren't Grabbed By The Collar Or Struck On The Skull By A Presence Or An Event, We Take For Granted The Very Things That Most Deserve Our Gratitude.
