Quotes by Craig Shaw Gardner (?)

“No matter what danger you might face," the wizard resumed, "within this book is a magical solution."
I did as Ebenzum bade, opening to a page titled "EZ Wizard's Index." I scanned quickly down the righthand column:

Demons, who are about to eat you, 206, 211
Demons, who are about to tear you limb from limb, 207
Demons, who are about thrash you soundly, 206-7
Demons, who have already begun to eat you, 208

"As you can see," my master continued, "quick reference to this index can prepare you for virtually any eventuality.”
― Craig Shaw Gardner, A Difficulty with Dwarves

“Sometimes people identified too strongly with the famous—it was one of the prices of notoriety, especially when so many considered you to be a hero. Batman sometimes filled much too large a hole in people’s lives.”
― Craig Shaw Gardner, The Batman Murders

“Żeby nie wiem jak idealnie przebiegała impreza, zawsze coś lub ktoś wywinie taki numer, że całą radość i przyjemną atmosferę licho weźmie.”
