shalannaEverything I write here (outside of established facts such as "Abraham Lincoln served as our sixteenth President" and such), you may question, and I will answer. Don't leave with the impression that everything's carved in stone (except my declarations of love for Jerry Lewis, Bobby Darin, and Micky Dolenz.) Well, maybe the punctuation and grammar stuff. But most everything else is up for discussion.
"No statement I make . . . should be interpreted as final and definitive. One or two of them may sound final and definitive . . . but I won't regard them as such tomorrow, and I wouldn't like you to do so today."--playwright Harold Pinter
"If you can corner an editor in a stairwell and correctly answer his three riddles and pick the hand with the bean in it instead of the leaf, you will be published."--Internet rumor mill
"We don't see things as they are: we see things as we are."--Anais Nin
"Fiction is the truth of the very dark."--Greg Bear
"All fiction is fantasy."--Wise woman of Ladenia
"Fantasy is a sin."--The Preacher from "Night of the Hunter" (He never says it in the book or the screenplay, but he said it off the record, I'm sure.)
"It ain't no sin if you crack a few laws now and then, just so long as you don't break any."--Mae West
"When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've never tried before."--also Mae West
