Literature is love. I think it went like this: drawings in the cave, sounds in the cave, songs in the cave, songs about us. Later, stories about us. Part of what we always did was have sex and fight about it and break each other’s hearts. I guess there’s other kinds of love too. Great friendships. Working together. But poetry and novels are lists of our devotions. We love the feel of making the marks as the feelings are rising and falling. Living in literature and love is the best thing there is. You’re always home Picture Quote #1

And we can’t have that. We insist on meaning. And so we tell stories so that our lives make sense Picture Quote #1

Novels are written, not wished into existence. You have to sit your ass in the chair or nothing gets done Picture Quote #1
