Fritz Leiber
“I'll never stop writing. It's one occupation in which being crazy, even senile, might help.”
Fritz Leiber, The Best of Fritz Leiber

Margaret Atwood
“I had a boyfriend once who sent me--in a plastic bag, so it wouldn't drip--a real cow's heart with a real arrow stuck through it. As you may divine, he knew I was interested in poetry.”
Margaret Atwood, Negotiating with the Dead: A Writer on Writing

“To the extent that self-expression does broadcast and reinforce a person's character, it clarifies a link between art, eccentricity, and mental illness. The more like ourselves we become, the odder we become.”
Alice Weaver Flaherty, The Midnight Disease: The Drive to Write, Writer's Block, and the Creative Brain

Erin Morgenstern
“He wishes he had brought the wine-colored book with him, but he is trying to make a point of not having his nose constantly in a book. It is an attempt to appear friendlier that he's not certain is working yet.”
Erin Morgenstern, The Starless Sea

Pierre Bourdieu
“Only in imaginary experience (in the folk tale, for example), which neutralizes the sense of social realities, does the social world take the form of a universe of possibles equally possible for any possible subject.”
Pierre Bourdieu, The Logic of Practice
