"To the composition of novels and romances, nothing is necessary but paper, pens, and ink, with the manual capacity of using them."

If I don't write to empty my mind, I go mad. As to that regular, uninterrupted love of writing. I do not understand it. I feel it as a torture, which I must get rid of, but never as a pleasure. On the contrary, I think composition a great pain.

— Lord Byron
