” Writing is not a mechanical process, nor an occupation. Writing is a vocation. —- what then pushes a writer to his sometimes tormenting but wonderful work?—- A person does not become a writer only from the call of his heart. The voice of the heart is most often heard in our youth when nothing has yet clogged or torn to shreds the fresh world of our feelings. Then come the years of maturity, and we hear more clearly something other than the invocatory voice of our own heart, a new and more powerful call- the call of our times, of our people, of our humanity”
Konstantin Paustovskij
