More From Jessamyn West
- "There are two barriers that often prevent communication between the young and their elders. The first is middle-aged forgetfulness of the fact that they themselves are no longer young. The second is youthful ignorance of the fact that the middle aged are still alive."
- "Faithfulness to the past can be a kind of death above ground. Writing of the past is a resurrection; the past then lives in your words and you are free."
- "It is very east to forgive others their mistakes; it takes more grit and gumption to forgive them for having witnessed your own."

- "A man at work, making something which he feels will exist because he is working at it and wills it, is exercising the energies of his mind and soul as well as of his body. Memory and imagination help him as he works."― William Morris
- "Children do not give up their innate imagination, curiosity, dreaminess easily. You have to love them to get them to do that."― R. D. Laing
