"My passions drive me to the typewriter..." - Quote by Ray Bradbury

“Libraries raised me.”

“You've got to be able to look at your thoughts on paper and discover what a fool you were.”

“And what, you ask, does writing teach us? First and foremost, it reminds us that we are alive and that it is a gift and a privilege, not a right.”

“We have hearts within, Warm, live, improvident, indecent hearts.”

“Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul But I do love thee! and when I love thee not, Chaos is come again.”

“The secret of unleashing your true power is setting goals that are exciting enough that they truly inspire your creativity and ignite yourpassion.”

“Inspiration arrives as a packet of material to be delivered.”

“First, I do not sit down at my desk to put into verse something that is already clear in my mind. If it were clear in my mind, I should have no incentive or need to write about it. We do not write in order to be understood; we write in order to understand.”

“A critic is a man who writes about things he doesn't like.”
