Quote

Literature has become my life.

I have a huge passion for literature.

It's great people still care about books, and it's great you can still fashion a life from literature.

My love of literature goes back to my childhood.

For me, literature is a way of enlarging myself by learning about people who are not like me.

Literature is air, and I'm suffocating in mediocrity.

When literature exists, perhaps we do not notice how important it is, but when it does not exist, our lives become coarsened and brutal. For this reason, I am proud of my profession, but also aware of its importance.

Literature can allow us to experience the best side of humankind, where instead of giving up, we struggle desperately in the ruins for love, connection and hope.

You're more likely to finish a book you enjoy, than one that feels like literary drudgery.

I consider what I write to be literature. I choose the words carefully.
