Missing Pages Quotes

“I wrote a book once.” Holden hesitated. He didn’t want to get suckered into reading something amateur and then having to lie about how much he liked it. “What was it about?” “Lots of things. A collection of stories.” Livira made no attempt at a sales pitch. “But she was saying…” Holden struggled to remember. “You wrote yourself into your own story? No wait – she told me ‘You’re not the author of your own story.’” “Very few people are the author of their own story. Perhaps we’re all characters someone else is writing. Maybe in this world there are characters in books who exist in their own world and consider themselves as real as the people who wrote them. And maybe they’re writing books that have us in. It could be that if you had a mechanism that could leaf through the pages of the multiverse, it would be able to take you to a world and a time and a location that matched the contents of any book you put into it.”
