“People want incongruous, impossible things.”
“Dear Brigan, she thought to herself. People want incongruous, impossible things. Horses do, too.”
“People with Books. What, in 2007, could be more incongruous than that? It makes me want to laugh."[Afterword]”
“People want to forget the impossible. It makes their world safer.”
“It's almost impossible to read a fine thing without wanting to do a fine thing.”
“Maybe it was wrong, or maybe impossible, but I wanted the truth to be one thing. One solid thing.”
