"Love is not a finite resource. The more you give, the more you have."
Literature is a form of resistance, a rebellion against injustice and oppression.
The best stories don't come from good vs. evil but from good vs. good.
"After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world."
"What's terrible is to pretend that second-rate is first-rate. To pretend that you don't need love when you do; or you like your work when you know quite well you're capable of better."
