"All this resembling other literature is all well and good, but what does it mean for our reading?" (Foster 33)

"It's always been going on and it's everywhere around us and every story you've ever heard or read or watched is part of it." (Foster 32)

"But the point is this: stories grow out of other stories, poems grow out of other poems. And they don't have to stick to genre." (33)

"As you read, it may pay to remember this; there's no such thing as a wholly original work of literature" (29).

"When I feel that resononce, that "fat chord" that feels heavy yet sparkles with promise or portent, it almost always means the phrase, or whatever, is borrowed from somewhere else and promises special significance." (foster pg. 55).

"the more we know of his plays, the more solidly our responses are locked in."
