And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals–sounds that say listen to this, it is important.”

Anna Akhmatova

“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.”
