"Southern Ontario, formerly one of the most brutally inarticulate communities in human history, now finds itself in possession of James Reaney, Alice Munro, Robertson Davies, Margaret Laurence, Al Purdy and a dozen other people. The community as a whole has not grasped the real importance of this fact."
~ Northrop Frye, cultural critic, address, Options Conference, University of Toronto, Oct., 1977.

"When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. You are connected to your child and to all those who touch your lives. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child."
"Hold fast the time! Guard it, watch over it, every hour, every minute! Unregarded it slips away. . . Hold every moment sacred. Give each clarity and meaning, each the weight of thine awareness, each its true and due fulfillment."
~ Thomas Mann (1875 - 1955) German novelist.
