“A genius is a lunatic who made it!”
Steve Smy
tags: quotes

“An author is like a jeweller, with words as their gemstones and imagination the precious metals.”
Steve Smy

“Trouble rather the tiger in his lair than the sage among his books. For to you kingdoms and their armies are things mighty and enduring, but to him they are but toys of the moment, to be overturned with the flick of a finger.”
Gordon R. Dickson, Tactics of Mistake

“It is very risky. But each time a child opens a book, he pushes open the gate that separates him from Elsewhere.”
Lois Lowry

“It is all true, or it ought to be; and more and better besides.”
Winston S. Churchill

“A genius is a lunatic who made it!”
