Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together

Sophie Hannah

Some writers, I'm told, look for their characters' surnames in telephone directories. I don't - it seems too obvious.

I think it's a giant waste of money. I don't see a huge (environmental) downside to it, but the science still doesn't show whether it actually works. If they can create another 1.1 million acre-feet of water, that's a huge amount. I wish them luck.

Craig Mattox
