W. Edwards Deming

It is necessary to write, if the days are not to slip emptily by. How else, indeed, to clap the net over the butterfly of the moment? for the moment passes, it is forgotten; the mood is gone; life itself is gone. That is where the writer scores over his fellows: he catches the changes of his mind on the hop. Growth is exciting; growth is dynamic and alarming. Growth of the soul, growth of the mind.

Vita SackvilleWest

Love is the emblem of eternity; it confounds all notion of time; effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end.

Germaine De Stael
