Gray Forier

“In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”
― William Faulkner

“If you go home with somebody, and they don't have books, don't fuck 'em!”
― John Waters

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”
― C.S. Lewis
