Victor Hugo

Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.

William Shakespeare

The object of Art is to give life a shape. (A Midsummer Night's Dream)

Robin McKinley

One of the biggest, and possibly the biggest, obstacle to becoming a writer... is learning to live with the fact that the wonderful story in your head is infinitely better, truer, more moving, more fascinating, more perceptive, than anything you're going to manage to get down on paper... So you have to learn to live with the fact that you're never going to write well enough. Of course that's what keeps you trying - trying as hard as you can - which is a good thing.
