Author – A Pondering Mind

Reading

“I don’t always, or even usually, read stories from beginning to end. I start anywhere and proceed in either direction. A story is not like a road to follow, it’s more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while.” ~ Alice Munro

I read so I can live more than one life in more than one place. ~Anne Tyler

Writing Is A Solitary Business

Writing is a solitary business. It takes over your life. In some sense, a writer has no life of his own. Even when he’s there, he’s not really there. ~Paul Auster

One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple. ~Jack Kerouac

A Good Friend

“A good friend is a connection to life – a tie to the past, a road to the future, the key to sanity in a totally insane world.” ~ Lois Wyse, Author ~ 1926 – 2007

The Four Conditions of Happiness ~ Albert Camus

“The Four Conditions of Happiness: Life in the open air, Love for another being, Freedom from ambition, Creation” ~Albert Camus
