Well, so it must be, for as man saw reality, so it became.
Some knowledge and some song and some beauty must be kept for those days before the world again plunges into darkness.

There’s no “magic secret”; writing is like everything else; ten percent inspiration or talent, and ninety percent hard work. Persistence; keeping at it till you get there. As Agnes de Mille said, it means working every day – bored, tired, weary, or with a fever of a hundred and two.

Never name the well from which you will not drink.
