James Baldwin
“There is a reason, after all, that some people wish to colonize the moon, and others dance before it as before an ancient friend.”
James Baldwin, No Name in the Street

Gabrielle Zevin
“There is a time for any fledgling artist where one's taste exceeds one's abilities. The only way to get through this period is to make things anyway.”
Gabrielle Zevin, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

Mary Ruefle
“In one sense, reading is a great waste of time. In another sense, it is a great extension of time, a way for one person to live a thousand and one lives in a single lifespan, to watch the great impersonal universe at work again and again,”
Mary Ruefle, Madness, Rack, and Honey: Collected Lectures

Sandra Boynton
“The greatest tragedies were written by the Greeks and Shakespeare...neither knew chocolate.”
Sandra Boynton

Mary Ruefle
“I used to think I wrote because there was something I wanted to say. Then I thought, 'I will continue to write because I have not yet said what I wanted to say'; but I know now I continue to write because I have not yet heard what I have been listening to.”
Mary Ruefle, Madness, Rack, and Honey: Collected Lectures
