"I first started writing fiction in college because I was attracted to beautiful sentences. I loved to read them. I wanted to write them."

Returning to writing fiction after 13 years away from it. Returning to the rootstock of my whole life as a writer. It's what I had wanted to be for my entire life, since I can remember, since my particular time immemorial. It's how I got my start as a writer.

— Elizabeth Gilbert
