Book: The city of dreaming books

... Yet the truth is more expensive, so good or bad but this some text, it is also the property of the reading public.

Over time, the shock will be transformed into inspiration. You will feel the need to compete with this perfection.

- Um... well, wow. Where do we go?
- In the basement.
- In the castle have a basement?
"Of course," replied Homunculus. In any haunted castle has a basement.

In your basement there lives a monster?
- In any basement living monster.

Do good things rarely get recognition immediately after writing. The best writers die poor. Poor earn money. It has always been.

- Waxes Of DotA? - I asked. The one who wrote a lot of depressing novels about soul-searching? One character everyone asked himself, a person he or a trembling creature?

Is not a reason to eat my subjects. Even mentally!

No matter how the story begins. And not how it ends. But what happens between the beginning and the end.

To create books you still can't, but to kill them has learned. Maybe you should be the critic?

The problem is, to make money - lots of money! We don't need a great, flawless literature. We need mediocrity. Junk, junk, a mass product. More and more. More and more thick book about anything. Count is only sold paper, not the words printed on it.

And now I have learned the secret of music, understand why it is head and shoulders above all the other arts: it is in its incorporeal. It's worth it to separate from the instrument, she belongs to herself. She is independent, the amount of sounds, weightless, incorporeal, absolutely clean and staying in harmony with the Universe.

If a book can grab me, I'll read under the most adverse conditions.
