Books Quote by Kyle Minor
“Everything is possible for the writer. There isn’t anything anyone can tell you that you can’t do, and there is no such thing as "getting away with" anything. There’s no one to tell you what you can or can’t do. You’re only limited by the fences you allow yourself to build around yourself, for whatever reason, including fidelity to some idea about literature someone else imposed upon you some time long ago or five minutes ago.”

I was kind of surprised, but the guy sitting next to me poked me in…” quote by Burleigh Grimes](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/c43/burleigh-grimes-53660_back-and-forth_one-day-he-wagner-was-batting-against-a_191761.jpg)
