I think that my passion for writing fantasy began at about the same time as my passion for reading fantasy.

Robin Hobb

It is an admonition to myself when I am reading other people's books. Writing a book is very difficult to do, even a bad one. I try to remember that when reading someone else's work.

Thomas L. Dumm

I wish I had time to do more reading, but I just haven't had much time. But I still find time for writing. I've always preferred writing over reading, even though those things do go hand in hand. But when I do have time, even if it's not writing music, just writing in general - ideas and stories and things like that.

Youth Lagoon

Reading, like writing, was a survival strategy when I was young because these were ways of feeling that my world could be much larger than it actually was. It was inevitable that I would end up writing sci-fi or fantasy.

Leigh Bardugo

Fantasy is my favorite genre for reading and writing. We have more options than anyone else, and the best props and special effects. That means if you want to write a fantasy story with Norse gods, sentient robots, and telepathic dinosaurs, you can do just that. Want to throw in a vampire and a lesbian unicorn while you're at it? Go ahead.

Patrick Rothfuss

That's a very good way to learn the craft of writing - from reading.

William Faulkner

I started reading fantasy and science fiction and writing fantasy and science fiction when I was - when I started junior high school.

Leigh Bardugo

I'm just writing what I know. I've never been much of a reader of fantasy, and I think you write what you, personally, enjoy reading.

Sarah Dessen

Writing can come naturally to some. Still, when it comes to good writing, this is true: Easy reading is damn hard writing.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

I began to imitate what I was reading, and I started to become a poet, even though what I was writing were not good poems.

Edward Hirsch

I wasn't a very good student in elementary school and had a hard time with reading and writing.

Patricia Polacco

I'm a very skeptical guy: my willing suspension of disbelief doesn't go very far when I'm reading other people's SF, and it goes even less far when I'm writing my own.

Robert J. Sawyer

An awful lot of fantasy, and even some great fantasy, falls into the mistake of assuming that a good man will be a good king, that all that is necessary is to be a decent human being and when you're king everything will go swimmingly.

George R. R. Martin

When I was in my early to mid-teens, that was a very heavy diet of science fiction and fantasy, so those were the kinds of books I tended to imagine writing someday, or even began to try to write.

Michael Chabon

Writing, or at least good writing, is an outgrowth of that urge to use language to communicate complex ideas and experiences between people. And that's true whether you're reading Shakespeare or bad vampire fiction-reading is always an act of empathy. It's always an imagining of what it's like to be someone else.

John Green

I was reading my son some fables; it made for good nighttime reading. These stories were very vivid and very strange and occasionally bizarrely violent. It was a very free landscape.

Patrick deWitt
