“I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound or stab us. If the book we're reading doesn't wake us up with a blow to the head, what are we reading for? So that it will make us happy, as you write? Good Lord, we would be happy precisely if we had no books, and the kind of books that make us happy are the kind we could write ourselves if we had to. But we need books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us. That is my belief.”
― Franz Kafka

“I hate when a director says to me 'Here's how I envision this scene'...excuse me? It's right here in the script - I 'envisioned' it FOR you. Do what I wrote. If you want to 'envision', you should become a writer. Where the fuck were you when the page was blank?”
― Harlan Ellison

“لا تستطيع إرغام الناس على الإصغاء. لا بد لهم من أن يتوصلوا هم أنفسهم و في الوقت الملائم لهم إلى التساؤل عما حدث و لماذا انفجر العالم تحتهم.”
― راي برادبوري, Fahrenheit 451

“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”
― Mahatma Gandhi
