An act of optimism...

"The act of writing 

is an act of optimism. 

You would not 

take the trouble to do it 

if you felt it didn't matter." 

~ Edward Albee

I like this quote.  I do feel optimistic when I write.  The things I write matter to me, and I hope that someday they will matter to someone else who reads them, too.
