“In general there should be gay characters in YA because a) surprise, there are gay folks everywhere and b) in my opinion as a father, there’s not a damn thing wrong with my child encountering gay folks in her literature, because see point a).”

“Don't even talk to me about "near death experiences". You want to be "near Death"? Stand before the assassin's blade, then tell me what you see. It won't be any ethereal tunnel full of warm, fuzzy light. You'll be dead, not in some funky hypnogogic state. What you see will be real, not the result of autonomic nor chemically induced psychosis, and infinitely more wondrous than any half-baked ego-conceptual delusion.”

“What an astonishing thing a book is. It's a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you're inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic."
