Jonathan Renshaw
“I always hated...all sad songs. I thought they made happy people miserable. Now I think I understand them better. Bards write them because they can't hold them back. Sadness has got to flow out or it gets stuck and turns bitter.”
Jonathan Renshaw, Dawn of Wonder

Michael Bassey Johnson
“If you're frightened of the countless number of books in the library, you'll never write anything, until you close your eyes and hold the pen.”
Michael Bassey Johnson
