Insight; Timelessness; Inspiration. "The great thing is to last, and get your work done, and see, and hear, and learn, and understand. And write when there is something that you know; and not before; and not too damned much after. Let those who want to save the world if you can see it clear and as a whole. Then any part you make will represent the whole if it is made truly. The thing to do is work and learn to make it." (E. Hemingway). Most Recently read: Saramago, Murakami.
