Hi, Brother DiIip; I am a writer,myself, and as before, I offer my current 5 star (@ Amazon) novel for free to our brothers and sisters. I sent out signed hard copies (left over from a book signing) to anyone who responded on our site, a while back. Now, I can send free PDF. Look me up on Amazon,et al,: Pauline Oneil Purcell Wolcott. I have chosen to be non profit, rather than famous. But, now that I am retired, I may accept a paid gig in the future. Keep writing, even if you do not choose to publish at this time. I have written in every genre: illustrated (by me) children's book; short story; fact based essay; and novel. As of now, I have declined an agent's contract and a newspaper column, but have conducted writer's workshop.I consider myself a hobby writer. What genre are you writing in? Your quote is thought provoking.

or we know where we can find information upon it.

Looks like there are several writers here. I write for magazines mostly. But I am working on a book project

I guess Mark Twain was a plagerist....originally Jehovah's thoughts.    Or does it have to be exact words?

Good, better, best never let it rest till the good gets better and the better best. No clue who this belongs to.

Also, I think from Churchill. When you're going through hell, KEEP going.

One more, CS Lewis, experience is a brutal teacher but my God do you learn. I have always thought of this phrase as an expression of heartfelt agony which only expence brings.
