كل من يكتب كتاباً متفائل. أولاً، يظن أنه سينهيه. ثانياً، يظن أن أحداً سينشره. ثالثاً، يظن أن أحداً سيقرؤه. رابعاً، يظن أن أحداً سيُعجب به. أيُّ تفاؤلٍ هذا؟

“Anybody who writes a book is an optimist. First of all, they think they're going to finish it. Second, they think somebody's going to publish it. Third, they think somebody's going to read it. Fourth, they think somebody's going to like it. How optimistic is that?”Margaret Atwood
