Writing, to me, isn't simply reporting events or feelings as they happened, but it is churning these things over in our minds to produce truths that can resonate with others. Being exposed to life's events isn't enough to take meaning out of it -- it is the reflection of these things that I think inspires writing.(less)

Patricia’s Quotes

“Whatever comes," she said, "cannot alter one thing. If I am a princess in rags and tatters, I can be a princess inside. It would be easy to be a princess if I were dressed in cloth of gold, but it is a great deal more of a triumph to be one all the time when no one knows it.”
― Frances Hodgson Burnett, A Little Princess
