That is a fantastic quote.

And yeah, this does seem a bit used, but hey, my thoughts are...

You can write a book for a few reasons:
1) To make money, therefore have people buy your book
2) For personal satisfaction
3) Say something you've always wanted.

Now, judging by your story, it would be either 1) or 2), not 3) because it's not a personal story.

So, whatever you write a book about, you will accomplish 2), and if you do something that has worked before, and pull it off, you will accomplish 1).

Just write what you want, and let the words flow, that's my thoughts.
