“Jane, be still; don't struggle so like a wild, frantic bird, that is rending its own plumage in its desperation." "I am no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being, with an independent will; which I now exert to leave you.”  ―  Charlotte Brontë

“Write what you know. That should leave you with a lot of free time.”  ―  Howard Nemerov

“Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.”  ―  Charles Dickens

“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!”  ―  J.R.R. Tolkien
