So long as readers keep reading and my publishers keep publishing, I plan to keep on writing. I'd have to be an idiot to be burnt-out in this job. ↗

بعض المذكرات أودعتها في مستودعات الماضي العتيق ، همشتها في أحد أدراج الأمس وقبل أن أمضي ! ألجمتها بجرعات الصمت القاتلة غرست بها بعض تخدير الموت الموضعي ! لأقصى نزف فيها ولأخمص ملامح ذابلة / باهتة موجوعة فيها ولكن الذكرى إعتادت على مراوغة ذاكرتي وحرمت عليها نعمة النسيان ! ↗

Books, I don't know what you see in them. I can understand a person reading them, but I can't for the life of me see why people have to write them. ↗

No characters in 'Stay Close,' including the leads, are black and white. I want them to be grey. I think that makes for a much more interesting reading experience, something that will stay with you a little bit longer. ↗

Do not suppose, however, that I intend to urge a diet of classics on anybody. I have seen such diets at work. I have known people who have actually read all, or almost all, the guaranteed Hundred Best Books. God save us from reading nothing but the best. ↗

There is an art of reading, as well as an art of thinking, and an art of writing. ↗

The taste for books was an early one. As a child he was sometimes found at midnight by a page still reading. They took his taper away, and he bred glow-worms to serve his purpose. They took the glow-worms away and he almost burnt the house down with a tinder. ↗

She read books as one would breathe air, to fill up and live. ↗
