The joys of love...last only a moment. The sorrows of love last all the life long.
Madeleine L'EngleIf you want to write, you need to keep an honest, unpublishable journal that nobody reads, nobody but you.
Madeleine L'EngleLike all great fantasists, he has taught me about life, life in eternity rather than chronology, life in that time in which we are real.
Madeleine L'EngleBut there is something about Time. The sun rises and sets. The stars swing slowly across the sky and fade. Clouds fill with rain and snow, empty themselves, and fill again. The moon is born, and dies, and is reborn. Around millions of clocks swing hour hands, and minute hands, and second hands. Around goes the continual circle of the notes of the scale. Around goes the circle of night and day, the circle of weeks forever revolving, and of months, and of years.
