J.G. Ballard
“I believe in the power of the imagination to remake the world, to release the truth within us, to hold back the night, to transcend death, to charm motorways, to ingratiate ourselves with birds, to enlist the confidences of madmen.”
J.G. Ballard

Elie Wiesel
“Writing is not like painting where you add. It is not what you put on the canvas that the reader sees. Writing is more like a sculpture where you remove, you eliminate in order to make the work visible. Even those pages you remove somehow remain. There is a difference between a book of two hundred pages which is the result of an original eight hundred pages. The six hundred pages are there. Only you don't see them.”
Elie Wiesel

J.G. Ballard
“Art exists because reality is neither real nor significant.”
J.G. Ballard

Anthony Burgess
“Language exists less to record the actual than to liberate the imagination.”
Anthony Burgess

William Gibson
“The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.”
William Gibson, Neuromancer
