Quote of the day
"I simply did not know that language could do this - that language could do what music does, or what painting does, that it could address not the intellectual, the cold part of one’s mind but could address the heart; could make something inside one resonate, vibrate with sheer joy, absolute pleasure." Stephen Fry talking at the Guardian Hay Festival.
Thought for the day
"The only advice I would give anybody who wants to start writing today is: first of all write - don’t think about it!" Dennis Norden at the Guardian Hay Festival.
