Gail Carson LevineOnce again, I donโt quite know where Iโm headed Steph. It seems that every few years Iโm shoveling up the pieces of my life and starting from scratch all over.

And Iโm not talking about becoming a millionaire and living happily ever after. I just mean reaching a point in my life that I can stop what Iโm doing, take a look around me, breathe a sigh of relief, and think โIโm where I want to be now.

I can't wait to do another....or maybe ten! Get after it!

Khaled HosseiniI learned many lessons from my first race with my heroes. I learned it was easier to breathe when I cried, so I cried often and without shame.

You inspire them by showing them how amazing they are.

Donovin DariusI'm a compulsive enjamber. I'm drawn to half-meanings created by the line, so that's definitely an element of craft that's always on my mind.

Maggie StiefvaterHow do you feel? (Maggie) Like I got hit by a bus that decided to back up a few times and make sure it finished the job. I think it must have ground its tires on my ribs during the last run. You know, just in case I might actually want to breathe again in my lifetime. (Wren)

Vaslav NijinskyFrom the place by the railing at the edge of the tracks on the summer evening I return across the city to my own room.

Then I only made a dollar and a half a day and now I sometimes make more than that in a few minutes. How wonderful to be able to write words. ... Again I begin the endless game of reconstructing my own life, jerking it out of the shell that dies, striving to breathe into it beauty and meaning. ... I wonder why my life, why all lives, are not more beautiful.
Sherwood Anderson
