Bram Stoker
“Ah, it is the fault of our science that it wants to explain all; and if it explain not, then it says there is nothing to explain.”
Bram Stoker, Dracula

Ursula K. Le Guin
“People who deny the existence of dragons are often eaten by dragons. From within.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Wave in the Mind: Talks and Essays on the Writer, the Reader and the Imagination

Samanta Schweblin
“My mother always said something bad would happen. My mother was sure that sooner or later something bad would happen and now I can see it with total clarity, I can feel it coming toward us like a tangible fate, irreversible.”
Samanta Schweblin, Fever Dream

Jean Cocteau
“Writing is an act of love. If it is not it is only handwriting. It consists in obeying the driving force of plants and trees and in broadcasting sperm far around us.

The richness of the world is in its wastefulness.”
Jean Cocteau, The Difficulty of Being

Ellen Hopkins
“A word to the unwise.
Torch every book.
Char every page.
Burn every word to ash.
Ideas are incombustible.
And therein lies your real fear.”
Ellen Hopkins
