From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2005-11-09:
"We talked about our voices as writers--how they are strong and brave but how as people we are wimps. This is what creates our craziness. The chasm between the great love we feel for the world when we sit and write about it and the disregard we give it in our own human lives." -- Natalie Goldberg(submitted to the mailing list by Jeannette Cezanne)
[Hmm. Somehow the mental image evoked, of misia with
a sword, undermines this quote ...]
