“I spent my life folded between the pages of books.
In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.”
― Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me

“Our blood is the same, we just use it differently.”
― Patrick deWitt, The Sisters Brothers

“The reader is always looking for two things in the novel: themselves and transcendence.”
― Walter Mosley, This Year You Write Your Novel
