Quote of the day

A short story is confined to one mood, to which everything in the story pertains. Characters, setting, time, events, are all subject to the mood.

long journeys are strange things: if we were always to continue in the same mind we are in at the end of a journey, we should never stir from the place we were then in: but Providence in kindness to us causes us to forget it. It is much the same with lying-in women. Heaven permits this forgetfulness that the world may be peopled, and that folks may take journeys to Provence.
