You write in order to change the world… if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way people look at reality, then you can change it.

“In bed we laugh, in bed we cry,
And born in bed, in bed we die;
The near approach a bed may shew
Of human bliss to human woe.”

Samuel Johnson | “À Son Lit,” from the French of Isaac de Benserade
