Oliver Sacks Quotes

The Act Of Writing, When It Goes Well, Gives Me A Pleasure, A Joy, Unlike Any Other. It Takes Me To Another Place - Irrespective Of My Subject - Where I Am Totally Absorbed And Oblivious To Distracting Thoughts, Worries, Preoccupations, Or Indeed The Passage Of Time. In Those Rare, Heavenly States Of Mind, I May Write Nonstop Until I Can No Longer See The Paper. Only Then Do I Realize That Evening Has Come And That I Have Been Writing All Day. Over A Lifetime, I Have Written Millions Of Words, But The Act Of Writing Seems As Fresh, And As Much Fun, As When I Started It Nearly Seventy Years Ago.
