Louise Penny
“You were going to say the Death Star, weren’t you?”

“Well, yes. If you can quote poetry, I can reference Star Wars.”
Louise Penny, All the Devils Are Here

Sarvenaz Tash
“And who wouldn't wish that? Certainly everyone here- dressed up as aliens, and wizards, and zombies, and superheroes- wants desperately to be inside a story, to be part of something more logical and meaningful than real life seems to be. Because even worlds with dragons and time machines seem to be more ordered than our own. When you live for stories, when you spend so much of your time immersed in careful constructs of three and five acts, it sometimes feels like you're just stumbling through the rest of life, trying to divine meaningful narrative threads from the chaos. Which, as I learned the hard way this weekend, can be painfully fruitless. Fiction is there when real life fails you. But it's not a substitute.”
Sarvenaz Tash, The Geek's Guide to Unrequited Love
