I write for the same reason I breathe - because if I didn't,... - Isaac Asimov
"I write for the same reason I breathe - because if I didn't, I would die."
"I write for the same reason I breathe - because if I didn't, I would die."
"Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do."
"You must keep sending work out; you must never let a manuscript do nothing but eat its head off in a drawer. You send that work out again and again, while you're working on another one. If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success - but only if you persist."
"I don't believe in an afterlife, so I don't have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse."
"Writing, to me, is simply thinking through my fingers."
"To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today."
