One Hates A Person For The Same

And Out Of A Desire Essentially To Imitate What I Was Reading, I Began To Write, Like A Clever Monkey.

But On The Other Hand, I Don't Actively Seek Out Stories Or Hunt Them Down.

I Much Prefer Working With Kids Whose Life Could Be Completely Upended By A Reading Of A Book Over A Weekend. You Give Them A Book To Read - They Go Home And Come Back A Changed Person. And That Is So Much More Interesting And Exciting.

I'm Seventy-six Now. I'm At A Stage In My Life Where I Feel A Lot Of Affection And Regard For Women, And I Felt The Need To Make This Clear In Some Way. I Don't Know How They'll Feel When They Read It, But I Feel Okay About It.

Through Writing, Through That Process, They Realize That They Become More Intelligent, And More Honest And More Imaginative Than They Can Be In Any Other Part Of Their Life.
