@zuko_42 Yes, me too! And people who can write poetically always impress me because I'm so bad at it! XD
I like Virginia Woolf, too! One specific quote that I'm fond of is this: "Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind."
But I think possibly my favorite quote of all time is by Henry James: "We work in the dark -- we do what we can -- we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art."
It's just a really powerful quote. :)
