“I know I should be able to find a story in anything. Good screenwriters can pull interesting films out of the asinine and mundane. But everything I've read about writing always begins with ‘write what you know.’ What I know is: quiet streets, topiary, moronic high school arsehats, and homework. Has anyone ever made a movie about homework? Probably. I bet it was in French.”
― Melissa Keil, Life in Outer Space

“Ending a novel is almost like putting a child to sleep—it can't be done abruptly.”

“In new situations, all the trickiest rules are the ones nobody bothers to explain to you. (And the ones you can’t google.) Like, where does the line start? What food can you take? Where are you supposed to stand, then where are you supposed to sit? Where do you go when you’re done, why is everyone watching you?… Bah.”
― Rainbow Rowell, Fangirl

“Let's be reasonable and add an eighth day to the week that is devoted exclusively to reading.”
― Lena Dunham
