“-O άνθρωπος είναι χτήνος! φώναξε και χτύπησε με θυμό το ραβδί του στις πέτρες. Μεγάλο χτήνος. Δεν το ξέρει η ευγένειά σου, σου ήρθαν μαθές όλα βολικά, μα ρώτα και μένα· χτήνος, σου λέω! Του 'καμες κακό; Σε σέβεται και σε τρέμει. Του 'καμες καλό; Σου βγάζει τα μάτια.”

“If you want to write a fantasy story with Norse gods, sentient robots, and telepathic dinosaurs, you can do just that. Want to throw in a vampire and a lesbian unicorn while you're at it? Go ahead. Nothing's off limits. But the endless possibility of the genre is a trap. It's easy to get distracted by the glittering props available to you and forget what you're supposed to be doing: telling a good story. Don't get me wrong, magic is cool. But a nervous mother singing to her child at night while something moves quietly through the dark outside her house? That's a story. Handled properly, it's more dramatic than any apocalypse or goblin army could ever be.”

“Let us pick up our books and our pens,” I said. “They are our most powerful weapons. One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.”
