“I write for teens (I am one!) and I hope to help them connect with the writings and enjoy reading.”
“I write for myself first and foremost, but I hope that others will enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.”
“I hope you enjoy reading my book as much as I didn’t enjoy writing it. Just kidding! I hope you don’t enjoy it at all.”
“I hope I am not too old to take it up seriously, nor too stupid about machines to qualify as a commercial pilot. I do not feel like spending the rest of my life writing books that no one will read. It is not as though I wanted to write them. *1937”
“I am too fond of reading books to care to write them.”
“I am a recluse at present & do nothing but write & read & read & write”
