"We are species that needs and wants to understand who we are. Sheep lice do not seem to share this longing, which is one reason why they write so little. But we do more have so much to say and figure out."
"You begin to string words together like beads to tell a story. You are desperate to communicate, to entertain, to edify, to preserve moments of grace or joy or transcendence, to make real and imagined events come alive. But you can not will them to happen. It is a matter of persistence and faith and hard work. So you might as well go ahead and get started."--Anne Lamott, author of "Bird by Bird: Some Instruction in Writing and Life."
