The cartoon me writes the books cartoon people read in the cartoon world, because they need things to read there too.

Leave no stone unturned. Deeply explore the beauty of your life.

Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called.

There were faces at the windows and words written in blood; deep in the crypt a lonely ghoul crunched on something that might once have been alive; forked lightnings slashed the ebony night; the faceless were walking; all was right with the world

The really important thing to be was yourself, just as hard as you could.

We do not always remember the things that do no credit to us. We justify them, cover them in bright lies or with the thick dust of forgetfulness. All of the things that Shadow had done in his life of which he was not proud, all the things he wished he had done otherwise or left undone, came at him then in a swirling storm of guilt and regret and shame, and he had nowhere to hide from them. He was as naked and as open as a corpse on a table, and dark Anubis the jackal god was his prosector and his prosecutor and his persecutor.

I see libraries and librarians as frontline soldiers in the war against illiteracy and the lack of imagination.
