Stephen        King
“If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.”
Stephen King

Bronisław Malinowski
“Again, they have no idea of what could be called the evolution of the world or the evolution of society; that is, they do not look back towards a series of successive changes, which happened in nature or in humanity, as we do. We, in our religious and scientific outlook alike, know that earth ages and that humanity ages, and we think of both in these terms; for them, both are eternally the same, eternally youthful.”
Bronisław Malinowski, Argonauts Of The Western Pacific - An Account of Native Enterprise and Adventure in the Archipelagoes of Melanesian New Guinea - With 5 maps, 65 Illustrations ... in Economics and Political Science)

“Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often.”
Mark Twain
