Some people have argued that listening to a work of literature does not really promote literacy in the same way that reading does. having tried this for several months, however, i can report from the trenches that, for me, immersive listening is as intellectually challenging, stimulating, and rewarding as immersive reading.

Do not several sorts of rays make vibrations of several bignesses, which according to their bigness excite sensations of several colours, much after the manner that the vibrations of the air, according to their several bignesses excite sensations of several sounds? and particularly do not the most refrangible rays excite the shortest vibrations for making a sensation of deep violet, the least refrangible the largest form making a sensation of deep red, and several intermediate sorts of rays, vibrations of several intermediate bignesses to make sensations of several intemediate colours?

I got a rejection letter from an editor at harpercollins, who included a report from his professional reader. this report shredded my first-born novel, laughed at my phrasing, twirled my lacy pretensions around and gobbed into the seething mosh pit of my stolen clichés. as i read the report, the world became very quiet and stopped rotating. what poisoned me was the fact that the report's criticisms were all absolutely true. the sound of my landlady digging in the garden got the world moving again. i slipped the letter into the trash... knowing i'd remember every word.

Literature cannot develop between the categories "permitted"—"not permitted"—"this you can and that you can't." literature that is not the air of its contemporary society, that dares not warn in time against threatening moral and social dangers, such literature does not deserve the name of literature; it is only a facade. such literature loses the confidence of its own people, and its published works are used as waste paper instead of being read. -letter to the fourth national congress of soviet writers

Experience has taught me that advertisers get the best results when they pay their agency a flat fee. it is unrealistic to expect your agency to be impartial when its vested interest lies wholly in the direction of increasing your commissionable advertising.

Progress is the product of human agency. things get better because we make them better. things go wrong when we get too comfortable, when we fail to take risks or seize opportunities.
