C.S. Lewis
“I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand a word you say, but I shall still be your affectionate Godfather, C. S. Lewis.”
C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Aldous Huxley
“Round pegs in square holes tend to have dangerous thoughts about the social system and tend to infect others with their discontents.”
Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

Margaret Atwood
“Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.”
Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

Margaret Atwood
“We were the people who were not in the papers. We lived in the blank white spaces at the edges of print. It gave us more freedom.
We lived in the gaps between the stories.”
Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

Chuck Palahniuk
“The lower you fall, the higher you'll fly.”
Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club
