The Ephraim Enterprise, Utah, January 25, 1935

"But how can you compare Harlow and Garbo, Swanson and Shearer, or Gable and Tracy with any luminary today? Maybe it's just an old timer's sentiment. But today's faces lack depth of feeling. Two world wars and many minor ones have almost changed the face of the globe itself. Why not our actors? As I watch on television many of the stars I once photographed, I look at them as one might old paintings. Some can't stand up to today's demanding audience; others will be as magnetic a hundred years from now. I am sure the Mona Lisa and the face of Greta Garbo will inspire and puzzle for all time." —Clarence Sinclair Bull, photographer

I disappear sometimes. It’s my thing.

The fact I’ll never be able to read all the books I want to read is crushing me

Problems only writers understand

Having very chaotic notes on your phone

Having secret files that you will NEVER let anyone ever see

Why cant I think of a name?

Writing 10k words in a day then never again
