Paul Auster, on writing:


Becoming a writer is not a 'career decision' like becoming a doctor or a policeman.
You don't choose it so much as get chosen,
and once you accept the fact that you're not fit for anything else,
you have to be prepared to walk a long, hard road for the rest of your days.

- Paul Auster.

Jane Austen, on books:


If a book is well written, I always find it too short.

- Jane Austen.

Back cover blurb:

I can’t call you because if he hears me talking on the phone he’ll hit me again. He scares me. I know sooner or later he’s going to kill me. I’ll text you again when I can. I love you, Casey. I’ll spend the rest of our lives proving to you how much I love you. Please come. Please save me …

With only text messages to guide him, Casey Byrne is on the hunt, racing across five states to save his ex-girlfriend, Madison.

Casey loves Madison deeply and wants desperately to save her life and rekindle their relationship.

But the closer he gets to her, the more surreal his journey becomes as the dead bodies pile up in his wake.

Introvert insight:


If there were a little more silence, if we all kept quiet ... maybe we could understand something.

– Federico Fellini.

Introverts dislike small talk, but are fluent in the language of ideas and dreams.

– from The Irresistible Introvert by Michaela Chung.

Sometimes I go out and hear people talk about irrelevant things, and then I tell myself this is why I don't go out. 

– Keanu Reeves.

When an introvert is quiet, don't assume he is depressed, snobbish or socially deficient. 

– Laurie Helgoe.
