To me a book is a message from the gods to mankind; or, if not, should never be published at all.
Aleister Crowley

The only really necessary people in the publishing process now are the writer and reader

Readers gained access to more books at lower costs and now have the ability to make instant purchases, sync across devices, and carry thousands of titles on their tablets

The best way to become acquainted with a subject is to write a book about it.
Benjamin Disraeli

Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: “What! You too? I thought I was the only one.”
C. S. Lewis
