Margaret Atwood
Quotes
A book is like a garden carried in the pocket.
Chinese Proverb

Julia Bartz
No need to plan everything
My task, which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel–it is, before all, to make you see.
Joseph Conrad
My task
A goal without a plan is just a wish.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
