"Malaki ang pagmamahal ko para sa ganitong mga kuwento, mga hindi nabigyan ng pansin o na-etsa-puwera o naitulak sa ilalim ng kama pero kapag nailimbag at nabasa, bibigyan ka ng mas malalim pang pag-unawa at respeto para sa mga mas malalaking proyekto ng mga manunulat na mahal na mahal niyo na. Sa ganitong lagay masasabing importante ang kolesiyon na 'to, at hindi lang para sa ambag nito sa bibliyograpiya ni Egay – paalala ito sa atin na marami pa tayong dapat isulat at kailangang basahin, at ang lahat ng ito ay kontribusyon para sa pagsulong ng panitikan. Mapalad tayong lahat sa paglabas ng aklat na 'to." — Adam David, bookish artistic weirdo
