Catch the Moment

Happiness is a butterfly, which when
pursued, is always just beyond your grasp,
but which, if you will sit down quietly, may
alight upon you. ~Nathaniel Hawthorne


It is necessary to write, if the days are not to
slip emptily by. How else, indeed, to clap the
net over the butterfly of the moment? For the moment passes, it is forgotten; the mood is
gone; life itself is gone. That is where the
writer scores over his fellows: he catches the
changes of his mind on the hop. ~Vita Sackville-West
