~ Emma Watkins

Wikipedia, essentially, is still the bastion of the original ideals of the Internet.

Motion comics are a medium all their own. It is certainly not animation, in which a large number of artists do tens and even hundreds of thousands of drawings. The animation, or 'the reality,' is created in a computer, and the work of the original artist is the work. Nor is it a comic book. You can't turn the pages. You can't read the dialogue.
~ Neal Adams

~ Theophilus London

'The Sword of Shannara' is about two brothers who find themselves on an epic quest to save humanity. It borrows from 'Lord of the Rings' but is still original in its own right.

~ Sabaa Tahir
An original and explosive book. It starts out by making psychology, the science of the mind, what's it actually is—as exciting and suspenseful as a good mystery story. —George B. Leonard

~ Robin Wall Kimmerer
The Skywoman story, shared by the original peoples throughout the Great Lakes, is a constant star in the constellation of teachings we call the Original Instructions. These are not "instructions" like commandments, though, or rules; rather, they are like a compass: they provide an orientation but not a map. The work of living is creating that map for yourself. How to follow the Original Instructions will be different for each of us and different for every era.
~ Robin Wall Kimmerer
