“A closed mind is a dying mind.””Life cannot defeat a writer who is in love with writing – for life itself is a writer”s love until death.””But always, to her, red and green cabbages were to be jade and burgundy, chrysoprase and prophyry. Life has no weapons against a woman like that.”- Edna Ferber
