"The first thing a writer should be..." - Quote by Ray Bradbury
The first thing a writer should be is - excited. He should be a thing of fevers and enthusiasms. Without such vigor, he might as well be out picking peaches or digging ditches; God knows it'd be better for his health.

“It doesn't matter if you win as long as you give everything in your heart”
“You are my inspiration and my folly. You are my light across the sea, my million nameless joys, and my day's wage. You are my divinity, my madness, my selfishness, my transfiguration and purification. You are my rapscallionly fellow vagabond, my tempter and star. I want you.”
“When you have passion for something you find a way to make it happen - this is the panacea to success.”
