Quote of the Week for Jan 18th

This thing called life-- with sweat and thoughtfulness as a novelist writes a novel, with sweat and perseverance, as a painter plies his brush, seated before the blank paper of the instant and the future, one creates a new portrait of oneself-- it is a vigorous task to be engaged in.
