Syndicate X Library's "Books That Changed My Life" series.

I had the great honor of sitting down with the amazing Chris Collins for The Syndicate X Library's "Books That Changed My Life" series. What a journey. What an experience. What a joy. I had no idea what I was in for, but it was awesome.

We waxed poetic about one very impactful book for me: Watership Down by Richard Adams. There are many books that have changed my life, truth told, but this story Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Tim Cummings  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“It’s easier for me to make sense of it that way than it is for me to face the other way—reality. And yet, those evil spirits that were unleashed—be they fake entities from a stupid carnival ride, or cruel malevolencies from dark spiritual chasms of our universe—have stayed with me all these years”
Tim Cummings, Orphans

“Listen, we’ll come visit you. Okay? I’ll dress up as William Shakespeare, Lucent as Emily Dickinson, and beautiful ‘Ray’ as someone dashing and manly like Jules Verne or Ernest Hemingway...and we’ll write on your white-room walls. We’ll write you out of your supposed insanity. I love you, Micky Affias.

-James (from "Descendants of the Eminent")”
Tim Cummings

“I leave the kitchen table to bathe, and to dress for church. If only my closet held on its shelves an array of faces I could wear rather than dresses, I would know which face to put on today. As for the dresses, I haven't a clue.”
Tim Cummings, Orphans

“Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.”
Charles W. Eliot

“Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them.”
Lemony Snicket, Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid

“I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”
Henry David Thoreau, Walden: Or, Life in the Woods

“It's hard to lead a cavalry charge if you think you look funny on a horse.”
Adlai E. Stevenson

“Memory is a snare, pure and simple; it alters, it subtly rearranges the past to fit the present.”
Mario Vargas Llosa
