Okay, okay, but here are a few quotes to go with that thought.
There have been great societies that did not use the wheel, but there have been no societies that did not tell stories.
C. S. Lewis
A book worth reading only in childhood is not worth reading even then.
You have to write whichever book it is that wants to be written. And then, if it's going to be too difficult for grown-ups, you write it for children.
We don't write what we know. We write what we wonder about.
