"There are three reasons for becoming a writer: the first is that you need the money; the second, that you have something to say that you think the world should know; the third is that you can’t think of what to do with the long winter evenings."
Quote It Write
“By necessity, by proclivity, and by delight, we all quote.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
