Summary

This quote means that literature is nothing more than a directed dream. In other words, literature is a form of art where authors can create their own fantastical worlds, characters, and stories. Like a dream, literature allows readers to escape reality and immerse themselves in a different realm. However, unlike a dream, the direction of the story is intentionally crafted by the author. Literature has the power to captivate, entertain, and provoke emotions, all while taking the reader on a journey carefully constructed by the writer.

Her face ... was a one-of-a-kind, a surprising variation on a familiar theme - a variation that made observers think, Yes - that would be another very nice way for people to look. What Beatrice had done with her face, actually, was what any plain girl could do. She overlaid it with dignity, suffering, intelligence, and a piquant dash of bitchiness.

I don't think I've ever worked so hard on something, but working on Macintosh was the neatest experience of my life. Almost everyone who worked on it will say that. None of us wanted to release it at the end. It was as though we knew that once it was out of our hands, it wouldn't be ours anymore.
