Joss Whedon"I write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters that I am not. I write to explore all the things I'm afraid of."
Ray Bradbury"You must write every single day of your life... You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads... may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world."
