“It's much more entertaining to live books than to write them.”
“We read a lot of books. Children's books mostly, because they're always much more truthful than adult books. And much more entertaining," said Mrs. Bunny.”
“It's much easier to write a solemn book than a funny book. It's harder to make people laugh than it is to make them cry. People are always on the verge of tears.”
“A book is much more than a delivery vehicle for its contents.”
“There should be more to writing than entertaining an already-brain-dead society and making money. If not,then you miss the point of writing.”
“People talk about books that write themselves, and it's a lie. Books don't write themselves. It takes thought and research and backache and notes and more time and more work than you'd believe.”
