"It is only after long practice and much interest in the work that one can set down plain truth, without over-embellishment or wandering from the point....When this is done even the truth itself sounds a little better than true, which is the basis of what is called literature."

~ Stephen Leacock (1869 - 1944) Canadian teacher, humourist, writer.

"Life's a pretty precious and wonderful thing.  You can't sit down and let it lap around you. . . you have to plunge into it;  you have to dive through it!  And you can't save it, you can't store it up; you can't horde it in a vault.  You've got to taste it;  you've got to use it.  The more you use the more you have. . . that's the miracle of it!"

~ Kyle Samuel Crichton (1896 - 1960) Author The Marx Brothers
