“Does it not occur to people that I might be artificial by nature?”

“For a writer to put his own intellectual musings, which he might sell for a low price as essays, into the mouths of artificially constructed characters which are more remunerative when issued as people in a novel is good economics, perhaps, but does not make literature.”

“This I think I have learned: where there is love, the form does not matter, and the gods are pleased. This I have observed: what occurs in nature, comes by the hand of nature, and if the gods did not approve, it would not be there~ Moondance k'Treva (Magic's Pawn)”

“Sometime before sleep it occurred to me that the true nature of being without might mean never knowing what one lacked.”

“Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty.”
