Adriana Raducanu

“I do not write for a select minority, which means nothing to me, nor for that adulated platonic entity known as ‘The Masses’. Both abstractions, so dear to the demagogue, I disbelieve in. I write for myself and for my friends, and I write to ease the passing of time.”
― Jorge Luis Borges, The Book of Sand and Shakespeare's Memory

“I was never really insane except upon occasions when my heart was touched.”
― Edgar Allan Poe

“Think of me pretending to be a lawyer, and not knowing how to look low enough!”
― Wilkie Collins, After Dark

“In books we never find anything but ourselves. Strangely enough, that always gives us great pleasure, and we say the author is a genius.”
― Thomas Mann
