“Language is the soul of intellect, and reading is the essential proces...” — Charles Scribner Quote

“Language is the soul of intellect, and reading is the essential process by which that intellect is cultivated beyond the commonplace experiences of everyday life.”

“Reading is a means of thinking with another person's mind; it forces you to stretch your own.”

“Space is going to be commonplace.”

“I have friends who have children with various disabilities, and I was able to talk to them about just sort of the struggle and the extra effort that has to be put into very commonplace things.”

“Coming out of the '60s and the Vietnam War in America, it was commonplace for people to make films that had relevance to them. And since the '70s, cinema has gone almost entirely in the direction of spectacle and escapism and superhero films.”
