Anthony Burgess
“Every grain of experience is food for the greedy growing soul of the artist.”
Anthony Burgess

Ernest Hemingway
“The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.”
Ernest Hemingway

Daniel Defoe
“The soul is placed in the body like a rough diamond, and must be polished, or the luster of it will never appear.”
Daniel Defoe

Maggie Stiefvater
“This object that we hold in our hands, a book…that tactile pleasure, it's just not going to go away.”
Maggie Stiefvater

Nora Ephron
“Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real.”
Nora Ephron
