Bees do have a smell, you know, and if they don't they should, for their feet are dusted with spices from a million flowers. - Ray Bradbury

No person ever died that had a family.

And what, you ask, does writing teach us? First and foremost, it reminds us that we are alive and that it is gift and a privilege, not a right. We must earn life once it has been awarded us. Life asks for rewards back because it has favored us with animation. So while our art cannot, as we wish it could, save us from wars, privation, envy, greed, old age, or death, it can revitalize us amidst it all.

It doesn't matter what you do...so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away.
