Book cover for To Be Taught, If Fortunate
We celebrate the tree that stretches to the sky, but it is the ground we should ultimately thank.

Natasha Pulley
“Thaniel listened for a while longer, because the silence was so deep and clear that he could hear ghosts of the thirty-six of thirty-seven possible worlds in which Grace had not won at the roulette, and not stepped backward into him. He wished then that he could go back and that the ball had landed on another number. He would be none the wiser and he would be staying at Filigree Street, probably for years, still happy, and he wouldn't have stolen those years from a lonely man who was too decent to mention that they were missing.”
Natasha Pulley, The Watchmaker of Filigree Street

Margaret Atwood
“In the end, we'll all become stories.”
Margaret Atwood, Moral Disorder and Other Stories

Vincent Starrett
“Here dwell together still two men of note
Who never lived and so can never die:
How very near they seem, yet how remote
That age before the world went all awry.
But still the game’s afoot for those with ears
Attuned to catch the distant view-halloo:
England is England yet, for all our fears–
Only those things the heart believes are true.

A yellow fog swirls past the window-pane
As night descends upon this fabled street:
A lonely hansom splashes through the rain,
The ghostly gas lamps fail at twenty feet.
Here, though the world explode, these two survive,
And it is always eighteen ninety-five.”
Vincent Starrett

Yann Martel
“That's what fiction is about, isn't it, the selective transforming of reality? The twisting of it to bring out its essence?”
Yann Martel, Life of Pi

Ursula K. Le Guin
“It is very hard for evil to take hold of the unconsenting soul.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, A Wizard of Earthsea
