Source: WRITERS

Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in that mirror which waits always before or behind.

-- Catherine Drinker Bowen, (Jan 1 1897-1973), US writer; She wrote the best-selling John Adams and the American Revolution, 1950.
