“I read, and, in reading, lifted the Curtains of the Impossible that blind the mind, and looked out into the unknown.”
― William Hope Hodgson

“Just as we all like love tales because there is an instinct of sex, we all like astonishing tales because they touch the nerve of the ancient instinct of astonishment. This is proved by the fact that when we are very young children we do not need fairy tales: we only need tales. Mere life is interesting enough. A child of seven is excited by being told that Tommy opened a door and saw a dragon. But a child of three is excited by being told that Tommy opened a door. Boys like romantic tales; but babies like realistic tales -- because they find them romantic. In fact, a baby is about the only person, I should think, to whom a modern realistic novel could be read without boring him.”
― G.K. Chesterton

“I get up in the morning, torture a typewriter until it screams, then stop.”
