Quotes by Paul Tremblay (?)

“Ideas. I'm possessed by ideas. Ideas that are as old as humanity, maybe older, right? Maybe those ideas were out there just floating around before us, just waiting to be thought up. Maybe we don't think them, we pluck them out from another dimension or another mind.”
― Paul Tremblay, A Head Full of Ghosts
