Thought for the Day

"Don’t throw away books. Books aren’t clutter. They add room. They make a small space infinite. They’re not mere objects, they’re portals. You open one up and you enter a different world."

~ Matt Haig, author

Thought for the Day

"People assume when you are a writer of books that you would secretly like to be doing other things like writing screenplays or directing Netflix shows, but I can tell you now that there is no job in the world as satisfying as being in total control of a story you have written."

~ Matt Haig, author

Thought for the Day

"Writing – good writing – comes from a deep place. It comes from somewhere far inside us. It is a passion, and the etymological root of passion is to suffer. We head into the dark and mine our minds for jewels we never knew were there."

~ Matt Haig, novelist and journalist
