Dean Koontz
“Waiting is one of the things that human beings cannot do well, though it is one of the essential things we must do successfully if we are to know happiness. We are impatient for the future and try to craft it with our own powers, but the future will come as it comes and will not be hurried.”
― Dean Koontz, Odd Interlude

Sandra Sealy
“I've noticed one of the marks of a good piece - whether it be a book, film, #poem, song or other type of #story - is that you notice something new every time you revisit it.”
― Sandra Sealy, Chronicles Of A Seawoman: A Collection Of Poems
