Life Can't Ever Really Defeat A Writer Who Is In Love With Writing, For Life Itself Is A Writer's Lover Until Death – Fascinating, Cruel, Lavish, Warm, Cold, Treacherous, Constant.

Texas History Is A Varied, Tempestuous, And Vast As The State Itself. Texas Yesterday Is Unbelievable, But No More Incredible Than Texas Today. Today's Texas Is Exhilarating, Exasperating, Violent, Charming, Horrible, Delightful, Alive.
