Charles Seger

“[Bastian] didn't like books in which dull, cranky writers describe humdrum events in the very humdrum lives of humdrum people. Reality gave him enough of that kind of thing, why should he read about it? Besides, he couldn't stand when a writer tried to convince him of something. And these humdrum books, it seemed to him, were always trying to do just that.”
― Michael Ende, The Neverending Story

“Case had always taken it for granted that the real bosses, the kingpins in a given industry, would be both more and less than people.”
― William Gibson, Neuromancer

“It seems an insult to the night to speak of purpose and intent, when this common moment is so brimming full of blessed design tranquility. All things follow their course.”
― Anne Rice, The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty

“Children do live in fantasy and reality; they move back and forth very easily in a way we no longer remember how to do.”
― Maurice Sendak
