Rachel’s Quotes

“Some of it's magic and some of it's tragic but I had a good life all the way.”
― Jimmy Buffett

“Meeting writers is usually disappointing, at best. Writers who write sexy thrillers aren't necessarily sexy or thrilling in person. Children's book writers might look more like accountants, or axe murderers for that matter. Horror writers are very rarely scary looking, although they are frequently good cooks.”
― Kelly Link
