“I think that it's only natural that readers become writers. You can only learn so much before you have to share it with others.”
“...I discovered that great men were willing to share their ideas. And I was learning so much. You can learn only if others are ahead of you.”
“A writer is, after all, only half his book. The other half is the reader and from the reader the writer learns.”
“You would think there's a natural limit to tears: only so much the body can give at one sitting before it runs dry.”
“So much of teaching is sharing. Learning results in sharing, sharing results in change, change is learning. The only other job with so much sharing is parenting. That's probably why the two are so often confused.”
“Read as widely and as deeply as you can. You have to be a reader before you can be a writer.”
