I'm not itching to sue Amazon or Wal-Mart... they sell a lot of books. But the future is very uncertain with books.

No publisher should ever express an opinion on the value of what he publishes. That is a matter entirely for the literary critic to decide. I can quite understand how any ordinary critic would be strongly prejudiced against a work that was accompanied by a premature and unnecessary panegyric from the publisher. A publisher is simply a useful middle-man. It is not for him to anticipate the verdict of criticism.

We have three cats. It's like having children, but there is no tuition involved.

You may hear people say that submarines have done away with the battleship, and that aircraft have annulled the mastery of the sea. That is what our pessimists say. But do you imagine that the clumsy submarine or the fragile aeroplane is really the last word of science?

John Buchan

Popular music formed the soundtrack of my life.

Martin Scorsese

Movies are about escape.

George A. Romero
