My books are like water; those of the great geniuses are wine. (Fortunately) everybody drinks water.

My books are water; those of the great geniuses are wine - everybody drinks water.
Wine is bottled poetry.
A book is simply the container of an idea like a bottle; what is inside the book is what matters.
Everyone who likes my books is like me in some way.
Water is my drink.
'Dandelion Wine' became one of the few books that I returned to time and again, and while not anywhere near the story crafter as Mr. Bradbury, I hope I managed to absorb by osmosis some of his techniques.
My books are, in a way, a record of my life - that part of it that came to flower and fruit in my mind.
I have even written a book about Wine called The Grapes of Ralph.
Many contemporary authors drink more than they write.
I've yet to meet a writer who could change water into wine, and we have a tendency to treat them like that.
