The sea-shore is a sort of neutral ground, a most advantageous point from which to contemplate this world. It is even a trivial place. The waves forever rolling to the land are too far-travelled and untamable to be familiar. Creeping along the endless beach amid the sun-squall and the foam, it occurs to us that we, too, are the product of sea-slime.
~Henry David Thoreau, an exerpt from Cape Cod. |

"Writing is one of the few professions in which you can psychoanalyse yourself, get rid of hostilities and frustrations in public, and get paid for it."
--Octavia Butler
"Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with, it is a toy and an amusement; then it becomes a mistress, and then it becomes a master, and then a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster, and fling him out to the public."
--Winston Churchill
"Life can't defeat a writer who is in love with writing, for life itself is a writer's lover until death."
--Edna Ferber |

"...those years in Paris were to be among the finest of her life. Looking back, she once remarked, 'Those years in Paris were among the finest of my life.' That was what she said when she looked back upon those years in Paris where she spent some of the finest years of her life."
I think this is going to need a little editing...
