"Most of the basic material a writer works with is acquired before the age of fifteen." - Willa Cather (1873-1947) Pulitzer prize-winning author who spent many summers on Grand Manan
"Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self." - Cyril Connolly (1903-1974) British intellectual, literary critic and writer
