“I know writers who use subtext, and they're all cowards.”
― Garth Marenghi

“My books always say something, even if it’s just something simple like: 'Don’t genetically engineer crabs to be as big as men.”
― Garth Marenghi

“My books are all essentially about ‘what ifs’. In Black Fang I asked: What if a rat could drive a bus? And what if it and its rat brethren took over and ate Parliament?”
― Garth Marenghi

“Reading the very best writers—let us say Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, Tolstoy—is not going to make us better citizens. Art is perfectly useless, according to the sublime Oscar Wilde, who was right about everything. He also told us that all bad poetry is sincere. Had I the power to do so, I would command that these words be engraved above every gate at every university, so that each student might ponder the splendor of the insight.”
― Harold Bloom, The Western Canon: The Books and School of the Ages
