en If a man writes a book, let him set down only what he knows. I have guesses enough of my own.
  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

en One guesses with the economy like one guesses with the stock market. There are some basic rules, but it doesn't always wind up the way you like it.

en A fool is a person who guesses and gets it wrong, a clever man is one who guesses, regardless of time period, and gets it right
  Voltaire

en The reason a writer writes a book is to forget a book and the reason a reader reads one is to remember it.
  Thomas Wolfe

en Our life is a book that writes itself and whose principal themes sometimes escape us. We are like characters in a novel who do not always understand what the author wants of them.

But he is darn good company, which book writers as a rule are not. He is better than what he writes. Most book writers are not as good.
  Raymond Chandler

  Ralph Waldo Emerson

en In 38 brief chapters, this poetic, postmodern novel experiments with a variety of styles: haiku, song lyrics, question-and-answer dialogue and split-screen scenarios.

en [What a welcome relief this must have been to the chronically depressed Cantor! As John D. Barrow writes in] The Infinite Book: A Short Guide to the Boundless, Timeless and Endless, ... started to tell his friends that he had not been the inventor of the ideas about infinity that he had published. He was merely a mouthpiece, inspired by God to communicate parts of the mind of God to everyone else.
