  “History. Lived not written, is such a thing not to understand always, but to
  marvel over. Time is so forever that life has many instances when you can say,
  ‘Once upon a time’ thousands of times in one life.”
  
  
  —J. California Cooper, _Family_
  
  
  “Perhaps it is just as well to be rash and foolish for a while. If writers
  were too wise, perhaps no books would get written at all. It might be better
  to ask yourself ‘Why?’ afterward than before.”
  
  
  —Zora Neale Hurston, _Dust Tracks on a Road_
