—Maya Angelou (via lionofbedstuy)
“There isn’t any particular relationship between all the messages except that the author has chosen them carefully so that, when seen all at once, they produce an image of life that is beautiful and surprising and deep […] What we love in our books are the depths of many marvelous moments seen all at one time.”
—Kurt Vonnegut (via nightmarebrunette)
