“Take care of your costume and your confidence will take care of itself.”
Amit Kalantri, Wealth of Words

Maureen Johnson
“Claim whatever you want. Say you only want a happy family or a successful career or a big house. I say: no, that's not what you want. You'll settle for those things, but you really want a monkey that does your evil bidding. Pullman is a genius just for this.”
Maureen Johnson, World of the Golden Compass: The Otherworldly Ride Continues [Paperback]
