"It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes."
"You live and learn. At any rate, you live."
"He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it."
"I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be."
- all Douglas Adams
Edit: and this one is by Adrienne Rich:
“There must be those among whom we can sit down and weep and still be counted as warriors.”

Cool. I met Adrianne Rich at a book festival a long while ago, when I was volunteering and working a table for the Iowa Press or something like that.

Fairytales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.

Okay, so I could (should?) be writing right now and I know I posted the last quote, but I was wandering around the internet and found this from Holly Lisle:
If writing is your hunger and your thirst, and if you choose not to follow your dream because you're afraid, you'll pay a price for that, too---you'll pay with the progressive deadening of your soul, as time and your own disillusionment with yourself eat away at who you are. One day you'll wake up and discover that the part of yourself that knew how to dream---and how to fly---has died, and that you are forever after bound to the ground, with only the memory that you once had wings.
Every dreamer pays a price. But so does everyone who fears to dream.

Love is easy, and I love writing. You can't resist love. You get an idea, someone says something, and you're in love. ~Ray Bradbury
