William Gibson
“To present a whole world that doesn’t exist and make it seem real, we have to more or less pretend we’re polymaths. That’s just the act of all good writing.”
William Gibson

S.W. Clemens
“Each day a whole world passes away, largely unappreciated, numbly relegated to obligation, commerce and routine. One day seems as unremarkable as the next. It's only through the inexorable accretion of days, weeks, months and years, that we come to appreciate with heartbreaking clarity how incredibly unique and precious each lost day has been.”
S.W. Clemens

Marcel Proust
“Happiness serves hardly any other purpose than to make unhappiness possible. ”
Marcel Proust

“There’s no rule book that tells you how to act in every given situation in life, you know? So what I always say is that it’s always better to err on the side of kindness. That’s the secret. If you don’t know what to do, just be kind. You can’t go wrong.”
R.J. Palacio, The Julian Chapter

Salman Rushdie
“human beings do not perceive things whole; we are not gods but wounded creatures, cracked lenses, capable only of fractured perceptions”
Salman Rushdie, Imaginary Homelands: Essays and Criticism 1981-1991
