“In sum, do not insult me with the beheadings, finger choppings or the lung-deflations you plan for my works. I need my head to shake or nod, my hand to wave or make into a fist, my lungs to shout or whisper with. I will not go gently onto a shelf, degutted, to become a non-book.

And no one can help me. Not even you.”
― Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

“I must be lean & write & make worlds beside this to live in.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands.”
