"I tried to think about other things. I tried to invent optimistic inventions. But the pessimistic ones were extremely loud."

Truly Alice, books are wonderful things; to sit alone in a room and laugh and cry, because you are reading, and still be safe when you close the book; and having finished it, discover you are changed, yet unchanged! To be able to visit the City of Invention at will, depart at will – that is all, really, education is about, should be about.

— Fay Weldon
