Patrons Quotes

“I'm grateful to my readers. Readers who buy and support authors, especially career authors, are the patrons who fund art, genius, innovation, and creativity. Out of all the books published, there will emerge the next Plato, Socrates, Einstein, Da Vinci, Shakespeare, Benjamin Franklin, Edison, Churchill, Tolstoy, and Tolkien. My readers help with my creative process because they help create the positive and supportive environment that allows me to keep writing the books and series my readers love. Thank You!" - Kailin Gow, Strong.”

“The library knows that it is a temporary fix. We have a stamp for the inside front cover: BROKEN SPINE NOTED. It is like a bracelet worn by a diabetic. When you return the book with this message stamped inside, we know you're not the one responsible for this horrible thing. It was some other bastard before you. The book has a preexisting condition.”
― Don Borchert

“An artist that makes art merely to meet a demand is a slave to what his patrons wants to see, or, hear.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“Just take a look at our patrons, and you'll know
Some don't appreciate us, others never will.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

“The patron gets comfortable in bed and opens up the book -- it opens tentatively -- and the patron bends the open book backward until there is a satisfying crack and the book is a little more supple, a little easier to read. The book spine has just been broken, and a broken spine means a more submissive book.”
― Don Borchert

“És fàcil comprovar que la vida és l'efecte acumulat d'uns quants successos importants. Per regla general, estos successos són casuals. En canvi, quan projectem tendim a no creure-ho. No som capaços d'advertir el fet que el futur, amb tota seguretat, tornarà a ser el sumatori de nous successos; pocs, aïllats, decisius, i generalment imprevisibles. Això que anomenem vulgarment sort és la manifestació en les nostres xicotetes vides individuals de l'aleatorietat del món. Vivim dins d'un remolí aleatori. No és que no hi haja patrons, regularitats, causes i efectes. És que és massa complex tot i necessitem enfocaments molt curts. La realitat, a partir de certs nivells de complexitat, no pot ser tancada de cap manera dins del nostre cervell. I, per tant, no la comprenem.”
― Guillermo Colomer Lloret, Aura en Manhattan
