About This Quote
When I was a child, I always had a great dream of becoming a writer, but it didn't work out. One day, I realized that I could never become a writer because I have no particular plan in life - and that's something I rather like. Most things that people do seem to me to be rather dull and silly. In my ideal life I'd be left alone to read books.
