Literature is my life of course, but from an ontological point of view. From an existential point of view, I like being a teacher.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Literature has always been a part of my life. I studied history and literature in college. My mother is a novelist; I grew up around books.
Literature has become my life.
For me, literature is a way of enlarging myself by learning about people who are not like me.
I have a huge passion for literature.
Literature has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I can't think back before a time that I didn't love writing and reading. When I was really young, my mother would read poems to me. I loved Edgar Allan Poe - I am sure I didn't understand it, but I loved it.
Without the faintest possibility of finding a job, I decided to devote myself to literature: it was about time to find out what I was worth as a writer.
Literature for me isn't a workaday job, but something which involves desires, dreams and fantasy.
I come to writing the same way I come to teaching, which is that my goal is always to create life-long readers.
I consider what I write to be literature. I choose the words carefully.
Literature has as one of its principal allures that it tells you something about life that life itself can't tell you. I just thought literature is a thing that human beings do.
