""But if I write what my soul thinks, it will be visible, and the words will be its body."
-Helen Keller.


"Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don't feel I should be doing something else."
         -Gloria Steinem

“To grow in craft is to increase the breadth of what I can do, but art is the depth, the passion, the desire, the courage to be myself and myself alone.”
                                            -Pat Schneider

“You are the only one of you . . . your unique perspective, at this time, in our age, whether it’s on Tunis or the tree outside your window, is what matters. Don’t worry about being original . . . Yes, everything’s been written, but also, the thing you want to write, before you wrote it, was impossible to write. Otherwise it would already exist. You writing it makes it possible.”
                                              -Anni Dillard
