Quote by Steven Magee

“While turning off the Desoto Solar Farm in the area where President Obama was touring was the right thing to do, I did have ethical issues with him and the company presenting a known dangerous electrical system to the world as a great achievement.”

“I remember a coworker coming into my office in the morning to tell me he was switching off the DeSoto Solar Farm in the area where President Obama was touring. It had been discussed prior as to whether they were going to leave it on or switch it off due to the known risk of a spontaneous fire in front of the world’s media. He had to tell me because he knew I was watching the system on my computer and I would see the power output drop. In the afternoon after President Obama had left, he came and told me he had switched it back on.”

“In the very act of writing I felt pleased with what I did. There was the pleasure of having words come to me, and the pleasure of ordering them, re-ordering them, weighing one against another. Pleasure also in the imagination of the story, the feeling that it could mean something. Mostly I was glad to find out that I could write at all. In writing you work toward a result you won't see for years, and can't be sure you'll ever see. It takes stamina and self-mastery and faith. It demands those things of you, then gives them back with a little extra, a surprise to keep you coming. It toughens you and clears your head. I could feel it happening. I was saving my life with every word I wrote, and I knew it.”
