“There’s no person sadder than a lit snob, because it means you’re the one ignoramus who doesn’t know you’re ignorant. It’s a pretty limited cultural vocabulary. It’s no different from the person who’s too good for pop culture. I know I couldn’t be the writer I am if I didn’t read widely.” — Marlon James
