I so loved these quotes Dia, especially the Dennis Etchison Just the kind of epiphany I needed today. So, in keeping with the good graces of give and take, I'll add one... The fly may be a part of the whole description of a restaurant. It might be appropriate to tell the precise sandwicch it just walked over. But there is a fine line between precision and self indulgence. Stay on the side of precision. Recognize the fly, even love it if you want, but don't marry it. Natalie Goldberg--Writing Down the Bones.
