Christy's favorite quotes
"Whereas story is processed in the mind in a straightforward manner, poetry bypasses rational thought and goes straight to the limbic system and lights it up like a brushfire. It's the crack cocaine of the literary world."
— Jasper Fforde (First Among Sequels)
— Jasper Fforde (First Among Sequels)
"But we were born of risen apes, not fallen angels, and the apes were armed killers besides. And so what shall we wonder at? Our murders and massacres and missiles, and our irreconcilable regiments? Or our treaties whatever they may be worth; our symphonies however seldom they may be played; our peaceful acres, however frequently they may be converted into battlefields; our dreams however rarely they may be accomplished. The miracle of man is not how far he has sunk but how magnificently he has risen. We are known among the stars by our poems, not our corpses."
— Robert Ardrey

""That's what fiction is for. It's for getting at the truth when the truth isn't sufficient for the truth.""
— Tim O'Brien

"I will tell you something about stories . . . They aren't just entertainment. Don't be fooled. They are all we have, you see, all we have to fight off illness and death."
— Leslie Marmon Silko (Ceremony)
— Leslie Marmon Silko (Ceremony)
"When you punish a person for dreaming his dream
Don't expect him to thank or forgive you."

Christy-
I was just about to bite into my tofu hot dog and then I saw the books you added to your "to read" list. Awesome!
Enjoy,
Aki
I see you're put a lot of these cinema books in your to-read list. Upcoming projects or just for fun?
