As of the great wind howling,
By which sorrow is released,

In a starry placating.”

“For the writer, there is nothing quite like having someone say that he or she understands, that you have reached them and affected them with what you have written.

It is our need to know we are not alone.”
—Virginia Hamilton (b. 1936)
“I have not had major experience of talking with people once pronounced brain-dead, but I think we could be safe in saying he did not have great zip.”
—Sir Howard Smith (b. 1919)
“If there is any period one would desire to be born in, is it not the age of Revolution; when the old and the new stand side by side, and admit of being compared; when the energies of all men are searched by fear and by hope; when the historic glories of the old can be compensated by the rich possibilities of the new era?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
