“There are books full of great writing that don't have very good stories. Read sometimes for the story... don't be like the book-snobs who won't do that. Read sometimes for the words--the language. Don't be like the play-it-safers who won't do that. But when you find a book that has both a good story and good words, treasure that book.”
― Stephen King

“′Classic′ - a book which people praise and don't read.”
― Mark Twain

“It is so short and jumbled and jangled because there is nothing intelligent to say after a massacre. Everybody is supposed to be dead...everything is supposed to be very quiet...and it always is, except for the birds.”
― Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-five

“A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest.”
― C.S. Lewis
