On March 1, 2022 fantasy and science fiction author Brandon Sanderson
launched a campaign on the Kickstarter crowdfunding platform for four
novels he wrote during the ongoing covid dislocation. Currently, the
campaign has raised $25.9 million, the largest figure in Kickstarter
history.

Sanderson released a celebratory video with music and text suggesting
that he was overwhelmed with the success:

[Begin excerpt]
Everyone, I’m supposed to WRITE fantasy worlds
Not live in them.

Your Humble(d) Storyteller,
Brandon
[End excerpt]

I think this qualifies as an interesting quotation for 2022 in the
auctorial domain.
