“I would know that in any city, at an hour like this, there are people sleeping. That most people are sleeping. But that in any city, in any cluster of people, there are a few people who are awake at this hour, who are both awake and dancing, and it's here that we need to be. That if we are living as we were this week, that we had to be awake with the people who were still dancing.”
― Dave Eggers, You Shall Know Our Velocity!

“You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.”
― Ray Bradbury

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