“You must keep sending work out; you must never let a manuscript do nothing but eat its head off in a drawer. You send that work out again and again, while you're working on another one. If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success - but only if you persist.”
― Isaac Asimov

“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.”
― Toni Morrison

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

“We're all made of stories. When they finally put us underground, the stories are what will go on. Not forever, perhaps, but for a time. It's a kind of immortality, I suppose, bounded by limits, it's true, but then so's everything.”
― Charles de Lint
