I tell you honestly what I think is the cause of the complicated maladies of the human race: it is their gormandizing and stuffing, and stimulating their digestive organs to an excess, thereby producing nervous disorders and irritation. – John Abernethy (1764–1831)
The really great writers are people like Emily Bronte who sit in a room and write out of their limited experience and unlimited imagination. – James A. Michener
