Quote of the Day

"You do not need to be analyzed, psychoanalyzed, Rolfed, e-s-t-ed, altered, gelded, neutered, spayed, fixed, acupunctured, Zenned, Yogied, New Aged, astrocharted, computerized, megatrended, androgynized, evangelized, converted or even, last and least, to be reborn.  One life at a time, please.

What is both necessary and sufficient--for honest literary work--is to have faith in the evidence of your senses and in your common sense.  To be true to your innate sense of justice.  To be loyal to your family, your clan, your friends and--if you're lucky enough to have one--your community."

-Edward Abbey, from "A Writer's Credo"
