“G. K. Chesterton compared fantastic fiction to going on holiday—that the importance of your holiday is the moment you return, and you see the place you live through fresh eyes.”
― Neil Gaiman, Stories

“Without a shadow of a doubt, the first fiction ever recounted was fantasy. Guys sitting around the campfire telling each other stories about the gods who made lightning, and stuff like that. They did not tell one another literary stories. They did not complain about difficulties of male menopause while being a junior lecturer on some midwestern college campus. Fantasy is without a shadow of a doubt the ur-literature, the spring from which all other literature has flown.”
― Terry Pratchett

“Don’t worry that you aren’t giving people what they want. Give them who you are, and let that be enough.”
― Brandon Sanderson, Mistborn Trilogy

“To pass beyond communication was to pass beyond salvation; he”
― Stephen King, It
