“The realm of death seems an enemy's country to most men, on whose shores they are loathly driven by stress of weather; to the wise man it is the desired port where he moors his bark gladly, as in some quiet haven of the Fortunate Isles; it is the golden west into which his sun sinks, and, sinking, casts back a glory upon the leaden cloud-tack which had darkly besieged his day.” MenCountrySeemsDeathEnemySunWiseHavensQuietGloryStressWestCloudsCastsDrivenWeatherGoldenFortunateRealmsShorePortBarkSinkingIsleMoors Book:Conversations on Some of the Old Poets Source: Conversations on Some of the Old Poets

“I'm a product of state schools. I had a working-class family. We had no books. I was the first to go to college. But I didn't really think about it, or about making money. I was just going to be an artist, and I've been fortunate. I've never had to work for anybody nor have I had to write for money. Maybe that's another reason that I've been able to be productive. I haven't had to use my writing to make a living.” ThinkingWritingFirstsBookStatesReasonUseAbleSchoolArtistClassHavensCollegeProductsMaking MoneyFortunateProductiveWorking Class Author:T.C. Boyle
