                       |   |             The                  artist is willing to give all his or her strength and life                  to probing with blunt instruments those same secrets no one                  can describe any way but with the instruments’ faint                  tracks.                   —Annie Dillard                                |           
                       |   |             Fear collides with our most conservative self and              allows us to stop before we try, dismiss before we think, mock              before we imagine.               —Carol Lloyd |           
                       |   |             Consistency                is the last refuge of the unimaginative.                 —Oscar Wilde             |           
                       |   |             I                insist on the primacy of beauty, but I don't believe that beauty                is dumb. it unifies our experiences, mental and physical,              and its satisfactions are often hard won.             —Dan Cameron |           
                      |   |             What does not change is the will to change.             —Charles Olson |           
                      |   |             "Whom                do you write for?" Gertrude Stein was asked. "Myself and strangers,"                she replied. |           
                      |   |             Whole                sight; or all the rest is desolation.             —John Fowles |
