“Authors go on writing books, and so we go on reading them. It is a sad state of affairs.”

“Readers read to escape from the world, Author's write to never have to go back to it again.”

“I learned that books are never finished, that it is possible for stories to go on writing themselves without an author.”

“When a goat likes a book, the whole book is gone,and the meaning has to go find an author again.- The Trouble With Reading”

“People who make snide comments to authors like "anyone can write a book" or "well, you did it, so obviously I can/it can't be that hard" or poke at a book because it's "romance" or "genre fiction" and act like that somehow makes it substandard because they don't read it... well, ok, go ahead. Write a bestseller. Don't forget to go through the correct edit process. We'll wait.”

“If they won't write the kind of books we like to read we shall have to write them ourselves.”
