This laurel greener from the brows
Of him that utter'd nothing base.

"Found the short story collection, PIGEONS FROM HELL by Robert E. Howard the creator of Conan the Barbarian when I was thirteen, or fourteen. It was the first dark fantasy and heroic fantasy I’d ever read. In that moment I knew not only did I want to be a writer, but this is what I wanted to write." ~ Laurel K. Hamilton, About Laurel K.

Robert E. Howard
Base words are uttered only by the base
And can for such at once be understood;
But noble platitudes — ah, there's a case
Where the most careful scrutiny is needed
To tell a voice that's genuinely good
From one that's base but merely has succeeded.Wystan Hugh Auden
The joys of parents are secret; and so are their griefs and fears. They cannot utter the one; nor they will not utter the other.
Francis Bacon
