Grand River Banks Cayuga

Love is the passionate and abiding desire
on the part of two or more people
to produce together conditions under which,
each can be and spontaneously express his real self; to produce together
an intellectual soil and an emotional climate
in which each can flourish,
far superior to what either could achieve alone.

Smile for Today ~

"Novelists are better off than playwrights.  You can't boo a bad book.  Or if you do you run the risk of being regarded as eccentric."

"There is a deep-rooted conviction in the profession that a good text is one that is easy to learn.  I don't believe it.  I think that in common with most good things a good text is one that is difficult to learn, but even more difficult to forget."

~ Peter Ustinov (1921 - 2004)  English Actor, playwright, dramatist, author, film maker, newspaper & magazine columnist.
