“You have to resign yourself to the fact that you waste a lot of trees before you write anything you really like, and that's just the way it is. It's like learning an instrument, you've got to be prepared for hitting wrong notes occasionally, or quite a lot, cause I wrote an awful lot before I wrote anything I was really happy with. And read a lot. Reading really helps. Read anything you can get your hands on.”
― J.K. Rowling

“If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.”
― Stephen King

“You should write a book," Ron told Hermione as he cut up his potatoes, "translating mad things girls do so boys can understand them.”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

“If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot.”
― Stephen King
