"What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though."
 

If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it. I write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.
