David Baldacci
“Why can't people just sit and read books and be nice to each other?”
David Baldacci, The Camel Club

Thomas Ligotti
“My grandfather felt at home with his lunatics.”
Thomas Ligotti, Songs of a Dead Dreamer

Ross Macdonald
“There was nothing wrong with Southern California that a rise in the ocean level wouldn't cure.”
Ross Macdonald, The Drowning Pool

Isaac Asimov
“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
Isaac Asimov

Robert Dunbar
“Cinema – all art really – has great power. Power to illuminate. Power to transform. For those of us who experience film as literature, classic movies comprised an introductory education in the genre. As kids, many of us went searching through library shelves for obscure source novels after seeing some old movie or other. It was the start of many an adventure.”
Robert Dunbar, Vortex
