Alain de Botton
“One of the best protections against disappointment is to have a lot going on.”
Alain de Botton

Margaret Atwood
“There's an epigram tacked to my office bulletin board, pinched from a magazine -- "Wanting to meet an author because you like his work is like wanting to meet a duck because you like pâté.”
Margaret Atwood , Negotiating with the Dead: A Writer on Writing
