It’s not a bad way to begin. It’s to blur that distinction between reader and writer. If you think about it, any book that you pick up as a reader, if it’s good, is a printed circuit for your own life to flow through—so when you read a book you are engaged in the events of the mind of the writer. You are bringing your creative faculties into sync. You’re imagining the words, the sounds of the words, and you’re thinking of the various characters in terms of people you’ve known—not in terms of the writer’s experience but your own. So it’s very hard to make any distinction between reader and writer at this ontological level. As a child I somehow drifted into this region where you are both reader and writer: I declared to myself that I was the writer. I wrote a lot of good books. I wrote Captain Blood by Rafael Sabatini. That was one of my better efforts.”",

When a man becomes a writer, I think he takes a sacred obligation to produce beauty and enlightenment and comfort at top speed.\" \"I just can't help thinking what a real shake up it would give people if, all of a sudden, there were no new books, new plays, new histories, new poems...\" \"And how proud would you be when people started dying like flies?\" I demanded. \"They'd die more like mad dogs, I think--snarling & snapping at each other & biting their own tails.\" I turned to Castle the elder. \"Sir, how does a man die when he's deprived of the consolation of literature?\" \"In one of two ways,\" he said, \"petrescence of the heart or atrophy of the nervous system.\" \"Neither one very pleasant, I expect,\" I suggested. \"No,\" said Castle the elder. \"For the love of God, both of you, please keep writing!”",
