Suze OrmanWhat makes me put pen to paper? You know, that's the million-dollar question. I've been writing since I've been reading.

They will live with the reader long after the words have been translated into ideas and dreams.

And even if we come up with some understanding, years later, while glancing out of a window, the story still has the potential to return, to alter right there in our mind and change everything.

Probably, if he or she had been allowed to choose, he would have been frightened and answered: No, I don't want to be born.
