John Galsworthy

The beginnings and endings of all human undertakings are untidy.

Headlines twice the size of the events.

Love has no age, no limit; and no death.

Youth, what man's age is like to be, doth show; We may our ends by our beginnings know.

Plot is not my forte. It's like I have to live in my head in the book for a while before I figure out what the story is... My process is a bit messier.
