“Read a lot. Reading really helps. Read anything you can get your hands on.” J. K. Rowling
“I always advise children who ask me for tips on being a writer to read as much as they possibly can. Jane Austen gave a young friend the same advice, so I’m in good company there.” J. K. Rowling
“Believe in yourself. Keep writing.” Neil Gaiman
“Fiction can show you a different world. It can take you somewhere you’ve never been. Once you’ve visited other worlds, like those who ate fairy fruit, you can never be entirely content with the world that you grew up in. Discontent is a good thing: discontented people can modify and improve their worlds, leave them better, leave them different.” Neil Gaiman
“You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.” Ray Bradbury
“You must write every single day of your life… You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads… may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.”
Ray Bradbury
