great quotes from two great writers thanks

"One doesn't get an idea for a novel. The idea more or less gets you. It uses you as a kind of culture, the way a pearl uses an oyster." ~ Diana Chang ~

"Reality is above all else a variable, and nobody is qualified to say that he or she knows exactly what it is. As a matter of fact, with a firm enough commitment, you can sometimes create a reality which did not exist before." ~ Margaret Halsey ~
