Time Trap Quotes

“We fought everything — each other, the Official Authority, the tea with too much sugar in it, the tea with too little sugar — everything. Perhaps now you'll begin to understand why I liked being with the twentieth-century kids. They were alive and kicking, not dead and docile.”
― Nicholas Fisk, Time Trap

“I like writing for its own sake, it gets you near doing something, something of your own. And I'm proud of my secret vice, my writing. Not many people can write at all - what would be the point these days, with the Viddy doing everything for you? - so just sitting down and writing makes me feel important. And reading Uncle Lipton's books has given me a taste for written words. He has all these books, hundreds of them. I don't think he reads them any more. He just talks about them. But to me, the books really mean something.”
― Nicholas Fisk, Time Trap
