“Since most of the action of the war actually happens off the page (offstage), I wanted to give the characters something they had to contend with on a daily basis, some sort of obstacle. Weather seemed to be the one great equalizer regardless of your station in life - when it snows, everyone is inconvenienced to a certain degree. Plus it's tactile, weather, it affects the skin.” GivingWarCharacterHappensActionWantedCertainDegreesPagesSkinsBasesObstaclesSnowWeatherStationsPlusEqualizerTactile Author:Said Sayrafiezadeh
“The truest art I would strive for in any work would be to give the page the same qualities as earth: weather would land on it harshly; light would elucidate the most difficult truths; wind would sweep away obtuse padding.” GivingArtLightWould BeEarthDifficultNatureQualityLandWindPagesStriveWeatherTruest Book:The solace of open spaces Source: The solace of open spaces
“The books in Mo and Meggie's house were stacked under tables, on chairs, in the corners of the rooms. There where books in the kitchen and books in the lavatory. Books on the TV set and in the closet, small piles of books, tall piles of books, books thick and thin, books old and new. They welcomed Meggie down to breakfast with invitingly opened pages; they kept boredom at bay when the weather was bad. And sometimes you fall over them.” BookSometimesFallHouseRoomsTvsPagesTablesCornersWeatherKitchenBoredomChairsTallBreakfastThickClosetsOld And NewInkheartThick And Thin Book:Inkheart Source: Inkheart
