“Writing isn't about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends. In the end, it's about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life, as well. It's about getting up, getting well, and getting over. Getting happy, okay? Getting happy.”
― Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

“If I could wish the Kingslayer back in chains I would. You freed him without my knowledge or consent... but what you did, I know you did for love.

― George R.R. Martin, A Storm of Swords

“Sometimes its necessary to embrace the magic, to find out what's real in life, and in one's own heart.”
― Sarah Addison Allen, First Frost

“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.”
