Books are a uniquely portable magic.
If you don’t have time to read, you don’t have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.
Books are the perfect entertainment: no commercials, no batteries, hours of enjoyment for each dollar spent. What I wonder is why everybody doesn’t carry a book around for those inevitable dead spots in life.
Good books don't give up all their secrets at once.
Fiction is the truth inside the lie.
The scariest moment is always just before you start.
If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot.
You can, you should, and if you’re brave enough to start, you will.
