Writing Quote for Sunday

Hope you've enjoyed our week of writer quotes. We'll return tomorrow with our regularly scheduled blog. Feel free to revisit the quotes we've put up since Monday and add to the conversations.
Here is today's quote, from that fellow pictured on the right.

"I write to entertain. In a world that encompasses so much pain and fear and cruelty, it is noble to provide a few hours of escape, moments of delight and forgetfulness." – Dean Koontz
