““[I love my work] intensely — I wouldn’t be in it if I ever stopped loving it, I would shift it and go over into something else. … I don’t think life is worth living unless you’re doing something you love completely , so that you get out of bed in the morning and want to rush to do it.

Ray Bradbury
