He pretended it was the only thing that kept him from it. But, far back in his mind, he wondered if he could write anything. Often the question threw itself at him when he was least expecting it. You have four hours every morning, the statement would rise like a menacing wraith. You have time to write many thousands of words. Why don't you? And the answer was always lost in a tangle of becauses and wells and endless reasons that he clung to like a drowning man at straws. Richard Matheson

morning oil fire
Below -60° cold will find the last microscopic touch of oil in an instrument and stop it dead.

I am the soul in all. Rumi

You will be more connected to what really matters most. Stephen Covey

morning light darkness
In a last violent protest against the hopelessness of imminent death, I sensed my spirit piercing through the enveloping gloom. I felt it transcend that hopeless, meaningless world, and from somewhere I heard a victorious "Yes" in answer to my question of the existence of an ultimate purpose.

"Et lux in tenebris lucet"-and the light shineth in the darkness. Viktor E. Frankl

morning tuesday people
It has been remarked (by a lady infinitely cleverer than the present author) how kindly disposed the world in general feels to young people who either die or marry. Imagine then the interest that surrounded Miss Wintertowne!

Susanna Clarke
