Strangers in Time

by David Baldacci

“My novel may be the best writing in the world, but if someone who can manage to have my jottings published does not like what I have written, my dream will never be realized. However, if what I have written is utter drivel, but lands in the hands of someone influential who loves such deplorable writing, I may see my book read by a great many. My dream will be realized, but so what? It’s all dependent on the whimsy of others.”

To dream is often to deceive oneself. We may dream so often about another sort of life that we forget to live the one that we already possess.”

We all need someone at certain times in our lives. It makes the inevitable pain lessened and the periods of happiness exalted.
