This quote states that if people take the time to read, this will encourage them to write. It implies that the more people read, the more likely they are to become writers themselves. It takes a group of readers to encourage and inspire a generation of writers; if people are not reading, then the amount of writers decreases. Therefore, if children, young adults and adults all take the time to read it will create a generation of readers and will, in turn, result in a generation of writers.
