Quote by Ridley Pearson

As a young boy, I read Cheaper by the Dozen and immediately became

As a young boy, I read Cheaper by the Dozen and immediately became neurotic about my use of time. It taxed me severely, but only for the next 50 years. But I think it also allowed me to discipline myself to sit in the chair and be a writer, where one of the most needed qualities is patience. – Ridley Pearson
