{"quotes":[{"text":"There are always messages, even enigmas to be searched, mysteries to be solved in all of my books. I like to puzzle readers, but I do not make so to the point of being so complex that they will lose interest in the plot. And that for me is the essence of every great literature around the world, and that’s been so for ages.(....)Some were inpired by real life characters, some other books I wrote are hybrid fiction/non-fiction, so I pretty much get inspired by people who have lived, and even who are still breathing among us… so don’t get discouraged if I didn’t mention your personality traits yet. I might even have your name over my books, I must some day….","author":"Ana Claudia Antunes","tags":["accounts","characters","chronicles","creative-process","creative-writing","enigmas","fictional-characters","funny","habits","hybrid","imagination","inspiration","jokes","life","mix","mysteries-of-life","mystery-novels","odd","oddity","one-hundred-one","people","people-relations","puns","real-character","real-life-drama","real-people","reality","short-stories","tales","tips","traits","writing","writing-tips"],"id":27911,"author_id":"Ana+Claudia+Antunes"},{"text":"Germans at the time believed, a little oddly, that dyes killed germs by turning the germs’ vital organs the wrong color.","author":"Sam Kean","tags":["germany","humorous","microbes","microbiology","oddity"],"id":43969,"author_id":"Sam+Kean"},{"text":"There was simply no peace to be had no matter where you hid yourself away. Even in a northern border town of such intensely chaotic oddity and corruption there was still some greater chaos, some deeper insanity, than one had counted on, or could ever be taken into account - wherever there was anything, there would be chaos and insanity to such a degree that one could never come to terms with it, and it was only a matter of time before your world, whatever you thought it to be, was undermined, if not completely overrun, by another world.","author":"Thomas Ligotti","tags":["away","chaos","corruption","hide","insanity","oddity","overrun","peace","world"],"id":52373,"author_id":"Thomas+Ligotti"},{"text":"Is it odd, my love, that I envy others who have not met you for the intoxication they have yet to experience? Is it odd that I wish to witness you with new eyes so I may have the pleasure of falling for you all over again? I am grateful, so grateful, for knowing the meaning of your various sighs.
