Invitation: Robert Frost

The Road / Cormac McCarthy

Just remember that the things you put into your head are there forever, he said. You might want to think about that.

Cormac McCarthy, The Road

"To live a creative life we must lose our fear of being wrong." Joseph Chilton Pearce

"If you press me to tell why I loved him, I feel that this cannot be expressed,

except by answering: Because it was he, because it was I."

Michel de Montaigne, "Of Friendship"
