Long Quotes

I draw to shock myself out of a too-easy rhythm - I may begin with no conception whatever, an image emerges . I rub it out and begin again, searching for its counterpart.

She went out and took a last long look at the shabby little library. She knew she would never see it again. Eyes changed after they looked at new things.
