Writing is an act of rebellion.
Writing is an act of creation.
Writing is an act of salvation.
Writing is an act of exploration.
Writing is an act of emotion.
Writing is an act of confession.
Writing is an act of speculation.
Writing is an act of reflection.
Keep writing.

This is... actually a fairly reasonable takeaway from this year.

Libraries are absolutely the best places on earth.

Cover design of the 1946 edition of Edward Gibbon's "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" Volumes.
