Literature’s a democratizing force. Its power makes so much of the world
accessible to anyone who can read, equally, without regard to anything
about “who we are” or where we came from or any of that. If you want to
participate in the world of letters, all that matters is your ability to
make yourself intelligible, when you write, and to apprehend what is
being said, when you read. - Maria Bustillos, on The Phantom Tollbooth
