“I prefer the pen. There is something elemental about the glide and flow of nib and ink on paper.”
― The Testament of Gideon Mack

“There is something hugely civilised about allowing long pauses in a conversation. Very few people can stand that kind of silence.”
― And the Land Lay Still
― And the Land Lay Still
“[M]ost people go through life a wee bit disappointed in themselves. I think we all keep a memory of a moment when we missed someone or something, when we could have gone down another path, a happier or better or just a different path. Just because they're in the past doesn't mean you can't treasure the possibilities ... maybe we put down a marker for another time. And now's the time. Now we can do whatever we want to do.”
