Books Quote by Michael Ondaatje

“Many books open with an author's assurance of order. One slipped into their waters with a silent paddle...But novels commenced with hesitation or chaos. Readers were never fully in balance. A door a lock a weir opened and they rushed through, one hand holding a gunnel, the other a hat.” quote by Michael Ondaatje
