"The so-called 'present moment' of real time is really just an imagined collective narcosis."

"We're all lonely for something we're not sure we are."

"The so-called 'real world' will not discourage you from operating on asinine principles by which you can feel good in the moment."

"Lonely people tend, rather, to reject everybody, beginning with themselves."

"The pen is mightier than the sword."

"Literature opens the mind to new worlds"

"The interesting thing about books is that they're made of words."

"Literature captures the essence of what it means to be human."
