“When a writer is born into a family, the family is finished, they say.
Actually, the family will be just fine, as has always been the case since the dawn of time, while it's the writer who'll meet with a terrible fate in the desperate attempt to kill off mothers, fathers, and siblings, only to once again find them inexorably alive.”

“Time heals all wounds. And if it doesn't, you name them something other than wounds and agree to let them stay.”
― Emma Forrest, Your Voice in My Head

“I am sonnets full of stardust within the meter of my skin.”
― Patricia Robin Woodruff

“Her philosophy is carpe diem for herself and laissez faire for others.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise
