"Sooner or later, somehow, anyhow, I was bound to write a novel. It seems vain to ask why. Men are born with various manias: from my earliest childhood, it was mine to make a plaything of imaginary series of events; and as soon as I was able to write, I became a good friend to the paper-makers."Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894)

Quotes


On of the things I like to do is collect quotes and phrases which inspire me. Sometimes it will be the words of a famous person, sometimes the words of a friend, a song lyric or just a powerful description of something.
