“Real life is physical. Give me books instead. Give me the invisibility of the contents of books, the thoughts, the ideas, the images. Let me become part of a book. . . . an intertextual being: a book cyborg, or, considering that books aren't cybernetic, perhaps a bibliorg.”
Scarlett Thomas, The End of Mr. Y

“I wonder if the reason I tend to say yes to everything is because I deeply believe that I can survive anything.”
Scarlett Thomas, The End of Mr. Y

“If something wants to be a story, it will be.”
Scarlett Thomas, The End of Mr. Y
