"The number of asides, tangents, blocky quotes of conclusions by other authors, and biased commentary continue to make this a hard read. Powering through for the sake of the reading challenge but I'd rather read a collection of short books on each of the murder cases." — Feb 21, 2018 12:43AM

Leandra’s Quotes

“Up to a point a person’s life is shaped by environment, heredity, and changes in the world about them. Then there comes a time when it lies within their grasp to shape the clay of their life into the sort of thing they wish it to be. Only the weak blame parents, their race, their times, lack of good fortune or the quirks of fate. Everyone has the power to say, "This I am today. That I shall be tomorrow.”
― Louis L'Amour, The Walking Drum

“The trail is the thing, not the end of the trail. Travel too fast,
and you miss all you are traveling for.”

“Be brave enough to live creatively. The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. You cannot get there by bus, only by hard work, risking and by not quite knowing what you are doing. What you will discover will be wonderful: Yourself.”
― Alan Alda

“One day I was speeding along at the typewriter, and my daughter - who was a child at the time - asked me, "Daddy, why are you writing so fast?" And I replied, "Because I want to see how the story turns out!”
