One of the most widespread superstitions is that every man has his own special, definite qualities; that a man is kind, cruel, wise, stupid, energetic, apathetic, etc. Men are not like that. We may say of a man that he is more often kind than cruel, oftener wise than stupid, oftener energetic than apathetic, or the reverse; but it would be false to say of one man that he is kind and wise, of another that he is wicked and foolish. And yet we always classify mankind in this way. And this is untrue.

It is the same with men.

The act of writing surprises me all the time. A miraculous thing happens when you have an idea and you want to convert it into words ... and then you start to create a work of art, and that's another miracle, and it remains mysterious to the writer, or to this writer anyway. — Janette Turner Hospital
