Affair Quote by Daniel Alarcon

“My first and last love will always be fiction. It's the first thing I do in the morning and the last thing I do at night. I love the novel because it's like a love affair. You can just fall into it and keep going, and you never know where it's going to take you.” quote by Daniel Alarcon
