— George Lucas

— Barbara Marcus, president of Scholastic Books
  • "Often, I get the feeling that the story is really happening somewhere and all I'm doing is trying to work out the best way to tell it."
— Garth Nix
  • "Garth Nix has created a wonderful fantasy world with this series...The young boy Tal and his reluctant (and somewhat grumpy) companion Milla are an interesting pair and their journey is full of surprises. Garth has a great gift for characterization and pacing, and he has a sly sense of humor which always entertains."
— Claire E. White, The Internet Writing Journal

Famous quotes containing the word reception:

    “But in the reception of metaphysical formula, all depends, as regards their actual and ulterior result, on the pre-existent qualities of that soil of human nature into which they fall—the company they find already present there, on their admission into the house of thought.”
    —Walter Pater (1839–1894)

    “He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
    —Billy Wilder (b. 1906)

    “Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind of reception it meets in the world, and that so very few are offended with it.”
    —Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
