Grey

“A book is made from a tree. It is an assemblage of flat, flexible parts (still called "leaves") imprinted with dark pigmented squiggles. One glance at it and you hear the voice of another person, perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time ― proof that humans can work magic.”
― Carl Sagan

“Good prose should be transparent, like a window pane.”
― George Orwell

“There is no real ending. It’s just the place where you stop the story.”
― Frank Herbert

“You did not just say that. I have a feeling we're on the verge of hugging and coming up with cute nicknames for each other.”
― Richelle Mead, Shadow Kiss
