“Reading is my pleasure; writing is my passion.”
“The pleasures of writing correspond exactly to the pleasures of reading”
“Writing is my passion, not my job. I need to write as much as I need to breathe, if not more.”
“Before I published any of my own stories, I read a great many stories by people as passionate about writing as I was, and I learned something from everyone I read -- something most important what I should not try to write.”
“There is no greater feeling than to have found my passion in writing.”
“My education was neglected, yet I was passionately fond of reading.”
