“Once a reading of a book is under way, and we sink into the experience, a performance of a sort begins...

We perform a book-we perform a reading of a book. We perform a book, and we attend the performance.

(As readers, we are both the conductor and the orchestra, as well as the audience.)”
― Peter Mendelsund, What We See When We Read

“THE PREMISE OF THIS BOOK CAME TO ME CIRCA 2006,”
― Neal Stephenson, Seveneves

“Autumn was her happiest season.”
― Harper Lee, Go Set a Watchman

“Riker tells Data to just get on with it already, so Data says Ferengi are like Yankee traders from 18th-century America. This indicates that, in the 24th century, the traditional practice of using 600-year-old comparisons is still in vogue, like when you’re stuck in traffic on the freeway, and say, “Man, this is just like Vasco de Gama trying to go around the Cape of Good Hope!”
― Wil Wheaton, Memories of the Future - Volume 1
