“the Real-World was a sprawling mess of a book in need of a good editor.”
“There are plenty of bad editors who try to impose their own vision on a book. (…)A good novel editor is invisible.”

“Sometimes you know you've got a chance with a girl because she wants to fight with you. If the world wasn't so messed up, it wouldn't be like that. If the world was normal, a girl being nice to you would be a good sign, but in the real world, it isn't.”
“But editors are still the world's readers. And thus the eyes of the world.”
