Colin Fleming Quotes

I Don't Think There's A Less Elitist Thing On Earth To Do Than To Try And Reach Out And Connect With Another Human Being . . . And That's What The Best Writing Does, That's What Art Does. It Looks A Reader In The Eye, And It Proceeds Honestly With That Reader, And Nakedly. There Is A Compact There, A Bond, A Relationship, A Union, A Symbiosis . . . It's Not About You. Whether You're A Genius Or An Idiot Savant. It's About The Work. The Work Is More Important Than You. So It's Not About Back-claps And Plaudits And "isn't That Author Smart." It's About, "this Book Really Connected With Me. And Even Though You, My Friend, Are Very Different From Me, I'm Lending It To You, Because I Think It Will Connect With You As Well." Community. Across The Eras. Between People Who Have Never Met, Who Will Never Meet, Who Are Nonetheless Bound In Something Together, In Different Ways.
