“A beloved student of mine told me she believed the earth was approximately 6,000 years old. She was smart, she was thoughtful, and she was wrong. But I couldn't discount her - I respected her too much. So I debated with her, using every bit of science and logic I had, but I still failed to convince her that the earth was billions of years old.” YearsStillsEarthBitsToo MuchStudentsMinesSmartLogicBillionsBelovedThoughtfulConvinceDiscounts Author:Lauren Grodstein
“I write with the idea that nobody will care about what I've written; I publish with the idea that nobody will care either. Which is why every time somebody cares enough to read a novel of mine, or respond to it - a reader, a reviewer, even my own editor - I'm a little bit amazed, and so hugely grateful.” WritingLittlesIdeasEnoughCareBitsMy OwnNovelWrittenMinesReaderLittle BitGratefulEditorsAmazedPublishReviewers Author:Lauren Grodstein
