Quotes: Susan Sontag

"Do stuff, be clenched, curious. Not waiting for inspiration's shove or society's kiss on your forehead. Pay attention. It's all about paying attention. Attention is vitality. It connects you with others. It makes you eager. Stay eager." 


–– Susan Sontag (1933-2004), American novelist and essayist

Quotes: Matt Haig

"Reading isn't important because it helps you get a job. It's important because it gives you room to exist beyond the reality you're given. Reading makes the world better. It is how humans merge. How minds connect. Dreams. Empathy. Understanding. Escape. Reading is love in action."

–– Matt Haig (b. 1975), English author and journalist
