Quote by Gary Ross
Most modern science fiction went to school on Dune. Even Harry Pot

Most modern science fiction went to school on Dune. Even Harry Potter with its boy protagonist who has not yet grown into his destiny shares a common theme. When I read it for the first time, I felt like I had learned another language, mastered a new culture, adopted a new religion. – Gary Ross

At first theyre going to love Harry Potter, or they may love The Hunger Games, but after that, theyre going to love the act of reading and wonder, What else can I read? – Gary Ross
