Writing reminders

 
Murray kept these quotes pinned up -- moving them over and over among the other thumb-tacked memorabilia for more than 40 years -- above his writing desk. I've absorbed them by osmosis since childhood. I credit them for any humanity and engagement that shows up in my writing, and I blame John Muir for my difficulties in sticking to the point.
