Emma Smith
“It’s funny how having lots of books—more than you could read in the rest of your life—makes a person seem like an intellectual, whereas having more shoes than you can wear or cars than you can drive makes you seem needy or overcompensating.”
Emma Smith, Portable Magic: A History of Books and Their Readers

Karen Armstrong
“Geniuses are not always pleasant people.”
Karen Armstrong

Gabrielle Zevin
“We are not quite novels.
We are not quite short stories.
In the end, we are collected works.”
Gabrielle Zevin, The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry

Dorothy Parker
“In youth, it was a way I had,
To do my best to please.
And change, with every passing lad
To suit his theories.

But now I know the things I know
And do the things I do,
And if you do not like me so,
To hell, my love, with you.”
Dorothy Parker, The Complete Poems of Dorothy Parker

Patrick Rothfuss
“It's like everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head. Always. All the time. That story makes you what you are. We build ourselves out of that story.”
Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind
