“The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.”
Mark TwainGet it down. Take chances. It may be bad, but it’s the only way you can do anything really good.

The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.
Jane Austen
