"I write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters that I am not. I write to explore all the things I'm afraid of." ~ Joss Whedon
I believe that stories have this power- they enter us, transport us, they change things inside us, so invisibly, so minutely, that sometimes, were not even aware that we come out of a great book as a different person from the person we were when we began reading it.
Julia Alvarez
There are admirable potentialities in every human being. Believe in your strength and your truth. Learn to repeat endlessly to yourself. "It all depends on me."
Andre Gide
