“If you would be a reader, read; if a writer, write.”
“Writers write like readers and read like writers.”
“No writer is a quiet reader, for their reading will speak of their writing.”
“You learn to write by writing, and by reading and thinking about how writers have created their characters and invented their stories. If you are not a reader, don't even think about being a writer.”
“The reason a writer writes a book is to forget a book and the reason a reader reads one is to remember it. ”
