Out of the nursery into the college and back into the nursery; there’s your intellectual pattern for the past five centuries or more.

Ray BradburyYou must write every single day of your life... You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads... may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.
