“I’m so busy scribbling and crossing out I almost miss … More and more the moments come to me: how much can the right word do?” from “The Notebook” by Mary Oliver House of Light

“It’s hard to tell somebody what you mean to say. And that’s an idea that I’m obsessed with. It’s why I write. It’s why everybody writes.”
--Jonathan Safran Foer
