“Odvedli jsme tak dobrou práci s vyprávěním příběhů o zániku a pádu, že si mnozí z nás dovedou velice snadno představit budoucí oceán s vybělenými útesy, želvy zadušené plastem, splaškové skvrny, hejna medúz a města duchů v místech někdejších rybářských vesnic plných života. Stejně důležité odteď budou naše příběhy o zlepšeních, naději a hrdinech, neboť nám ukážou, kdo jsme a kým máme ještě čas se stát.”

“The magic in writing is not so much using your imagination as it is allowing the reader to uses theirs. When I write a novel I’m not going to hand walk you through each scene. Avid readers tend to have very high IQ’s so I’m constantly aware of, and respect that. I have a tendency to give my readers vivid descriptions of panoramic viewpoints, soft breezes, and the late evening as it scrapes against the emerging night and present this step by suspenseful step. Once I get them to the threshold of that unseen cliff, I shove them off and say, take it from there.”
