Gloria Whelan
“They were all brilliant. They wrote books and painted pictures, and if they ever stopped talking, which I was sure they would never do, they planned to change the world.”
― Gloria Whelan, Listening for Lions: A Gripping Historical Novel about a Young Heroine's Survival and Identity Journey from Africa to England for Children

Charlie Kaufman
“Constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating.”
― Charlie Kaufman
