“It was written I should be loyal to the nightmare of my choice.”
― Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness

“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

“I have to see a thing a thousand times before I see it once.”
― Thomas Wolfe, You Can't Go Home Again

“Go to heaven for the climate and hell for the company.”
― Benjamin Franklin Wade
