"Why I Write"

Just read and loved this quote!:

"I write out a greed for lives and language. A need to listen to the orchestra of living. It is often said that a writer is more alive than his peers. But I believe he might also be sleepier than his peers, a sort of narcoleptic who requires constant waking up by his own imaginative work. He is closer to sleep and ream, and his memory is more haunted, thus more precise."

-Barry Hannah, Harper's Magazine, June 2010, pg. 13
