“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

“When you punish a person for dreaming his dream
Don't expect him to thank or forgive you.”
― John Darnielle
Don't expect him to thank or forgive you.”
― John Darnielle
“Imagination is the politics of dreams; imagination turns every word into a bottle rocket. . . . Imagine every day is Independence Day and save us from traveling the river changed; save us from hitchhiking the long road home. Imagine an escape. Imagine that your own shadow on the wall is a perfect door. Imagine a song stronger than penicillin. Imagine a spring with water that mends broken bones. Imagine a drum which wraps itself around your heart. Imagine a story that puts wood in the fireplace.”
― Sherman Alexie, The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven

“That's what fiction is for. It's for getting at the truth when the truth isn't sufficient for the truth.”
