Love the quote! And yes Faulkner is one of the attributions I've come across. There's also the version: “I write only when inspiration strikes. Fortunately, it strikes every morning at nine o’clock sharp.” By Somerset Maugham.
And I'd say you have inspiration coming every which way! Are you using the books as writing rewards? For myself, I have to put aside all my reading until I get the story done else I would never finish ;-)
