Quotes edit see section history

• “My god is language, written and read. And there is no other god but this.”

  Cordelia Kenn

• “You said the way you're feeling is like being tossed about in a storm. And it is, I know, I've been there. It's like being in a tempest when it's happening and you're sure you'll be torn apart. But the storm passes and though you may be shipwrecked and washed up on a foreign shore, all's well that ends well. It may not be as you like it. It may not be the end you wanted. But you'll survive and you'll be glad you have. You'll see. Believe me.”

  Ms. Martin

• Photos. Photos are not like words. Words are alive. They speak to you. They are always now. Though they were written in the past, even in the long long ago (as beloved Shakes), they are still alive when you read them. Words never die.
