Ian Mortimer
“Although there are many more things we could say about fourteenth-century England, probably enough has been said for you to have an idea of what it is like, prior to setting out. Only one question remains to be answered. Why should you want to set out in the first place? Or, to put it more bluntly, why should you actually want to see the living past? Is the fourteenth-century not better left for dead, a pile of parchments, monastic ruins, and museum artifacts? … History is not just about the analysis of evidence, unrolling vellum documents or answering exam papers. It is not about judging the dead. It is about understanding the meaning of the past - to realize the whole evolving human story over centuries, not just our own lifetimes.”
Ian Mortimer, The Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England: A Handbook for Visitors to the Fourteenth Century

“I mean, you and me, maybe someday, we might become people we never imagined we'd be."

"Probably. For better or worse. That's life.”
Won Pyung Sohn

T.J. Klune
“He didn’t know what was worse, the fact that he was a Gothic Repressed Suburban White Kid or the fact that he didn’t know he was one.”
T.J. Klune, How to Be a Normal Person

“There’s a feeling when you really get a handle on your plot that’s like when you’re getting to the end of a jigsaw puzzle and each piece you fit makes the next one fit faster. I love that feeling. Rewriting to add foreshadowing and strengthen the themes, that’s really fun.”
Sacha Lamb

Victor Hugo
“The archdeacon silently contemplated the gigantic building for a while, then sighed as he stretched out his right hand towards the printed book lying open on his table and his left hand towards Notre-Dame, and looked sadly from the book to the church. ‘Alas!’ he said, ‘this will kill that.”
Victor Hugo, The Hunchback of Notre Dame
