Quotes by M.V. Carey (?)

“I began writing late; my first articles and stories were published after I was thirty, and I was motivated by money. Money is not a bad motivation. The need to eat keeps us from laziness, and the fact that someone is willing to pay to read what we write assures us that we have indeed written.”
― M.V. Carey

“I think that writing should be honest and simple, and it should say something about what it means to be a person. When God is good to us, we write in such a way that the act of reading becomes a pleasure to those who buy our books.”

“Young people ask why I became a writer, as if it were something I decided. I didn't decide; it grew on me like ivy.”
