“In every bit of honest writing in the world, there is a base theme. Try to understand men, if you understand each other you will be kind to each other. KNOWING A MAN WELL NEVER LEADS TO HATE and nearly always leads to love. There are shorter means, many of them. There is writing promoting social change, writing punishing injustice, writing in celebration of heroism, but always that base theme. TRY TO UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER!”
― John Steinbeck, Of Mice and Men

“The greatest thing ever in the history of the world and of all of human endeavor from time immemorial is stories.”
― Rainn Wilson, The Bassoon King: My Life in Art, Faith, and Idiocy

“Books can be misleading”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

“It seemed funny to me that the sunset she saw from her patio and the one I saw from the back steps was the same one. Maybe the two different worlds we lived in weren't so different. We saw the same sunset.”
