Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.published in the collection The Wind Among the Reeds and quoted in the movie Equilibrium (2002)

William Standish Knowles

I don't think, generally speaking, people become writers because they were the really good, really cool, attractive kid in class. I'll be honest. This is our revenge for people who were much better looking and more popular than us. I was a bit like that, I suppose.

Steven Moffat

I am blessed to have so many great things in my life - family, friends and God. All will be in my thoughts daily.
