I'm not in the biographical spirit, so here are a few "writer" quotes I favor: "A silent man in life's affairs, A thinker from a boy, A Peasant in his daily cares, A poet in his Joy." -John Clare "Maktub {It is written}" -The Alchemist "Tell the Story" -the Horse Ancestors, The Tao of Equus "Diamonds and dynamite come in small packages" -Janet Kagan
