"It is going to take me so long to work my way through this book. It's an absolute goldmine of interviews, with everyone from Dorothy Parker, and Ernest Hemmingway, to TS Eliot, and authors I would probably only encounter on a BA syllabus. All of them earnestly talking about their craft, and referencing their contemporaries (the ones still household names, and those who have fallen from the collective memory)." Mar 30, 2026 01:10AM

“words are the only things that can construct a world that makes sense.”

A.A. Milne
“When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?"

"What's for breakfast?" said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?"

"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet.

Pooh nodded thoughtfully. "It's the same thing," he said.”
A.A. Milne

Maggie Stiefvater
“So what you're saying is you can't explain it."
"I did explain it."
"No, you used nouns and verbs together in a pleasing but illogical format.”
Maggie Stiefvater, The Dream Thieves

“My words are unerring tools of
destruction, and I’ve come unequipped with the ability to disarm them.”
Maggie Stiefvater, The Raven Boys

Patrick Ness
“People see stories everywhere...We take random events and we put them together in a pattern so we can comfort ourselves with a story, no matter how much it obviously isn't true...We have to lie to ourselves to live. Otherwise, we'd go crazy.”
Patrick Ness, More Than This
