The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.
We don't inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children—this belief shapes everything we do.
A good novel tells us the truth about its characters; a great novel tells us the truth about ourselves.
