Stephen        King
“How does it happen that a writer who's not even very good - and I can say that, I've read four or five of his books - gets to be in charge of the world's destiny? Or of the entire universe's?"

If he's not very good, why didn't you stop at one?"

Mrs. Tassenbaum smiled. "Touché. He is readable, I'll give him that - tells a good story...”
Stephen King, The Dark Tower

Beverly Cleary
“As a child I very much objected to books that tried to teach me something. I just wanted to read for pleasure, and I did.”
Beverly Cleary
