My stories run up and bite me in the leg -- I respond by writing them down - everything that goes on during the bite. When I finish, the idea lets go and runs off.

When it's time for me to walk away from something, I walk away from it. My mind, my body, my conscience tell me that enough is enough.

Bruce Catton

I was a bartender for a long time, so I know how to make drinks, but I'm more likely to offer them than to have them. I think this is one of the reasons why I get to live longer than my great-grandmother did, and why I get to produce more writing than she did, and why my marriage isn't in dire straits.

Elizabeth Gilbert

Wisdom and deep intelligence require an honest appreciation of mystery.

Thomas Moore
