“I was, without a sliver of a doubt, a no-good, lazy slacker of a child...” — Ben Peek Quote

“I was, without a sliver of a doubt, a no-good, lazy slacker of a child, and after I discovered literature, I was totally and utterly a no-good, lazy slacker of a child who read books. A lot of books, good and bad, but my favourite - the books I read and reread in my teens - were by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman.”

“I did not discover literature of any kind until I was about eleven, or ten.”

“I think Anna Tambour is criminally under-read.”

“Many things have been said about what happened, but I don't know either. Maybe someday. One thing I'm sure of is that all the things that have happened to me, good and bad, happy and sad, have made me what I am today.”

“People feel very strongly about restaurants if theyre involved in them. It tends to take over your life for good and bad.”

“It took me a long time to learn both good and bad can exist simultaneously.”
