“Snakes do not go to school. Everything important in the world is written on the inside of our eggs. When we have finished reading and memorising what is written, we break our eggs and hatch.”
A.L. Kennedy, The Little Snake

“To think that realistic fiction is by definition superior to imaginative fiction is to think imitation is superior to invention.”
