D ImPOrTaNCE Of bOoKs
-
"[A novel is] only some work in which the greatest powers of the mind are displayed, in which the most thorough knowledge of human nature, the happiest delineationof its varieties, the liveliest effusions of wit and humour, are conveyed to the world in the best-chosen language."
-
~Northanger Abbey, Jane Austen
-
"Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations."
-
~Walden, Henry David Thoreau
-
~A Room of One's Own, Virginia Woolf
-
"It seems to me that the limitless world of the imagination is just as crucial as the walled world of the everyday. Inside books there is perfect space and it is that space which allows the reader to deal with the normal problems of gravity."
-
~Jeanette Winterson
-
"Nothing happens in the "real" world unless it first happens in the images in our heads."
-
~Gloria Anzaldua
-
"The literary foremothers who told stories and sang songs, who passed on the details of their lives through the oral tradition, who wrote novels and poems and locked them away in boxes and drawers, are and have been the mainstay of our culture and of our creativity."
-
~Tey Diana Rebolledo and Eliana S. Rivero
-
"A lack of belief in my creative self is a lack of belief in my total self and vice versa--I cannot separate my writing from any part of my life. It is all one."
-
~Gloria Anzaldua
-
"We have lived; our moments are important. This is what it is to be a writer: to be the carrier of details that make up history...recording the details of our lives is a stance against bombs with their mass ability to kill, against too much speed and efficiency. A writer must say yes to life, to all of life."
-
~Natalie Goldberg
-
"Even in the darkest wilderness, there are angels, and a knight, no matter how lost and despairing, [who] will always be given another chance to fulfill his quest."
-
~Katherine Paterson
-
"But I know now that you can't expect anything from anybody. If somebody loves you, it's because he wants to. And it's never because it's what he's supposed to do."
-
~Cynthia Rylant
-
"Fiction cannot recite the numbing numbers, but it can be that witncess, that memory. A storyteller can attempt to tell the human tale, can make a galaxy out of the chaos."
-
~Jane Yolen
-
"Most of us are called on to perform tasks far beyond what we belive we can do."
-
~Lloyd Alexander
