"I cannot live with someone who can't live without me." — Nadine Gordimer

From Ernest Hemingway's stories, I learned to listen within my stories for what went unsaid by my characters.

The facts are always less than what really happened.

Perhaps the best definition of progress would be the continuing efforts of men and women to narrow the gap between the convenience of the powers that be and the unwritten charter.

Power is something of which I am convinced there is no innocence this side of the womb.
