1 " I wrote an essay about the rhythm of Tolkien’s writing in The Lord of the Rings. Short rhythms repeated form long rhythms; there’s a cyclical repetition in his work which I think is part of why it totally enchants so many of us. We are caught in this rhythm and are happy there. "
― Ursula K. Le Guin , Ursula K. Le Guin: Conversations on Writing
2 " What you wrote above the nightingale is so interesting, Mr. Keats, please tell us more. "
3 " Si lo masculino incluye lo femenino y lo femenino no incluye lo masculino, el mensaje es claro y tiene implicaciones sociales y morales de gran envergadura. "
4 " Any of us who grew up reading eighteenth- or nineteenth-century fiction are perfectly at home with what is called “omniscience.” I myself call it “authorial” point of view because the term “omnisicence,” the idea of an author being omniscient, is so often used in a judgmental way, as if it were a bad thing. But the author after all is the author of all these characters, the maker, the inventor of them. In fact all the characters are the author if you come right down to the honest truth of it. So the author has the perfect right to know what they’re thinking. If the author doesn’t tell you what they are thinking . . . why? This is worth thinking about. "
