Shadow Killing

Famous quotes containing the words shadow and/or killing:

“...A shadow now occasionally crossed my simple, sanguine, and life enjoying mind, a notion that I was never really going to accomplish those powerful literary works which would blow a noble trumpet to social generosity and noblesse oblige before the world. What? should I find myself always planning and never achieving ... a richly complicated and yet firmly unified novel?”
—Sarah N. Cleghorn (1876–1959)

“Writing fiction is ... an endless and always defeated effort to capture some quality of life without killing it.”
