The reason why I love people, and writing about them, is because they dont always respond with hate and anger. If they did I wouldnt have a story to tell. Who wants to know about someone who was brutalised and became brutal? Im interested in the exceptions. – Chris Cleave
I have seen the sea when it is strormy and wild; when it is quiet and serene; when it is dark and moody. And in all its moods, I see myself. – Martin D. Buxbaum (1912–1991), in Table Talk
