“I want my books to be the illicit, secret pleasures each reader anticipates opening and savoring.”
Melinda De Ross

“I want my books to be the illicit secret pleasure each reader is anxiously anticipating to open and savor.”
Melinda De Ross

“I felt less like a teacher and more like the reluctant warden of a low-security, co-ed juvenile zoo.”
Melinda De Ross, Things We Fake: A slow-burn fake engagement romantic comedy

“I want my books to be the illicit, secret pleasures each reader anticipates opening and savoring.”
Melinda De Ross

“In the world I am
Always a stranger
I do not understand its language
It does not understand my silence”
Bei Dao

“Pleasure to me is wonder—the unexplored, the unexpected, the thing that is hidden and the changeless thing that lurks behind superficial mutability.”
H.P. Lovecraft

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
Steve Jobs

“Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!”
Audrey Hepburn
