I would sit by one of the nectar lakes and drink nectar, while watching the wind-riders skimming around the silver mountainsides and dancing across the skies.

Sweetly, sweetly blew the breeze -
On me alone it blew.”

“If I had to give young writers advice, I would say don't listen to writers talking about writing or themselves.”
Lillian Hellman

“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
