I think I was forty before I realized that almost every writer of fiction or poetry who has ever published a line has been accused by someone of wasting his or her God-given talent. If you write (or paint or dance or sculpt or sing, I suppose), someone will try to make you feel lousy about it, that's all. —Stephen King More about this quote Tags: talent writing poetry fiction shame Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email

For we can do nothing substantial toward changing our course on the planet, a destructive one, without rousing ourselves, individual by individual, and bringing our small, imperfect stones to the pile. —Alice Walker More about this quote Tags: hope heroism tragedy shame heroes the world Permalink for this quote facebook twitter tumblr email
