All writers are exiles wherever they live and their work is a lifelong journey towards the lost land.
Janet FrameIt is always hard to believe that the will to change something does not produce an immediate change.
Janet Frame[...] a morass of despair violence death with a thin layer of glass spread upon the surface where Love, a tiny crab with pincers and rainbow shell, walked delicately ever sideways but getting nowhere, while the sun [...] rose higher in the sky its tassels dropping with flame threatening every moment to melt the precarious highway of glass. And the people: giant pathworks of colour with limbs missing and parts of their mind snipped off to fit them into the outline of the free pattern.
