Why We Write Quotes by Steven Saylor, Anais Nin, Luke Bryan, Meg Rosoff and many others.
We all have a lot of people inside us, yet we get to live only one life. Fiction lets us slip into someone else’s skin, so to speak. That’s why we read novels, and also why we write them – to experience more life, through imagination.
We write to taste life twice, in the moment, and in retrospection.
When you look into the eyes of your people out there that came to see you, that’s when it’s like, ‘Yep, this is what it’s all about.’ This is why we don’t sleep, and this is why we write songs and try to be the best. This moment right here onstage.
The imagination can be dangerous. It can change the world. And that is why we write.
