If one could be friendly with women, what a pleasure -- the relationship so secret and private compared with relations with men. Why not write about it truthfully?

When I was younger, I was in love with everything about the British Isles, from British folklore to Celtic music. That was always where my passions were as a young girl, and so I studied folklore as a college student in England and Ireland.

Terri Windling

I tell people I'm too stupid to know what's impossible. I have ridiculously large dreams, and half the time they come true.

Debi Thomas

Strong characters are brought out by change of situation, and gentle ones by permanence.

Jean Paul Richter

I was so depressed that I decided to jump from the tenth floor. They sent up a priest. He said on your mark ......I was lost and asked a cop to help me find my parents do you think we'll find them, I don't know there's so many places to hideOn Halloween, the parents sent their kids out looking like me.

Rodney Dangerfield

My friendships and relationships in the conservative world are not predicated on political correctness and enforced conformity of thought. They are based, instead, on mutual respect, honesty and understanding - concepts many modern liberals should consider revisiting.

There is no moral authority like that of sacrifice.

Nadine Gordimer

The characters do have a life of their own; it's weird.

Julie Walters

You call forth the world which God has formed and that world only. Nor is this life of yours by which you set such store your doing, however you may choose to tell it. Its shape was forced in the void at the onset and all talk of what might otherwise have been is senseless for there is no otherwise. Of what could it be made? Where be hid? Or how make its appearance? The probability fo the actual is absolute. That we have no power to guess it out beforehand makes it no less certain. That we may imagine alternate histories means nothing at all.

Cormac McCarthy

Hell isn't merely paved with good intentions, it is walled and roofed with them

Aldous Huxley

There was a small wooden gazebo built out over the water; Isabelle was sitting in it, staring out across the lake. She looked like a princess in a fairy tale, waiting at the top of her tower for someone to ride up and rescue her. Not that traditional princess behavior was like Isabelle at all. Isabelle with her whip and boots and knives would chop anyone who tried to pen her up in a tower into pieces, build a bridge out of the remains, and walk carelessly to freedom, her hair looking fabulous the entire time.
