—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
“About the alleged condition of the property. Does it have to be intact?”

“Some authors have what amounts to a metaphysical approach. They admit to inspiration. Sudden and unaccountable urgencies to write catapult them out of sleep and bed. For myself, I have never awakened to jot down an idea that was acceptable the following morning.”
