I can't believe there will ever be a time when the book is truly obsolete. It is the perfect technology and feeds the soul.

Reading can be a road to freedom or a key to a secret garden, which, if tended, will transform all of life.

I do know that I need solitude, not only to write but to nourish myself (being, like most writers, an introvert) so that I do keep trying to write.

Trouble can always be borne when it is shared.

I realize, of course, that I wasn't born knowing how to read. I just can't imagine a time when I didn't know how.
