Albert Payson Terhune Quotes
I have learned, as has many another better writer, to summon inspiration to my call as soon as I begin my day's stint, and not to hang around waiting for it.

Inspiration that will not come at its possessor's summons is like a dog that cannot be trained to obey. The sooner both are gotten rid of, the better.

You can tell if there's magic in something. When you start it, you want to finish it and you want it to be perfect.
