Dan Simmons Quotes
When The Last Autumn Of Dickens's Life Was Over, He Continued To Work Through His Final Winter And Into Spring. This Is How All Of Us Writers Give Away The Days And Years And Decades Of Our Lives In Exchange For Stacks Of Paper With Scratches And Squiggles On Them. And When Death Calls, How Many Of Us Would Trade All Those Pages, All That Squandered Lifetime-worth Of Painfully Achieved Scratches And Squiggles, For Just One More Day, One More Fully Lived And Experienced Day? And What Price Would We Writers Pay For That One Extra Day Spent With Those We Ignored While We Were Locked Away Scratching And Squiggling In Our Arrogant Years Of Solipsistic Isolation?
Would We Trade All Those Pages For A Single Hour? Or All Of Our Books For One Real Minute?
