“Fiction builds empathy. Fiction is something you build up from twenty-six letters and a handful of punctuation marks, and you, and you alone, using your imagination, create a world, and people it and look out through other eyes. You're being someone else, and when you return to your own world, you're going to be slightly changed.”
― Neil Gaiman, Art Matters: Because Your Imagination Can Change the World

“I am the literary equivalent of a Big Mac and fries.”
― Stephen King
