28 April 1996 Posted on April 28, 2016 by Staff The gunman, Martin Bryant, opens fire at the Broad Arrow Cafe in Port Arthur in Tasmania, Australia killing 35 people. Famous Words of Inspiration..."Writing, at its best, is a lonely life. Organizations for writers palliate the writer's loneliness, but I doubt if they improve his writing. He grows in public stature as he sheds his loneliness and often his work deteriorates. For he does his work alone and if he is a good enough writer he must face eternity, or the lack of it, each day."
