On Writing



"Writing is a lot like sex. At first you do it because you like it. Then you find yourself doing it for a few close friends and people you like. But if you're any good at all...you end up doing it for money."

-- Unknown



"Most writers regard truth as their most valuable possession, and therefore are most economical in its use."

-- Mark Twain



"Many suffer from the incurable disease of writing and it becomes chronic in their sick minds."

-- Juvenal (AD 60-130)



"All of us learn to write in the second grade. Most of us go on to greater things."

-- Bobby Knight



"Asking a writer what he thinks about criticism is like asking a lamppost what it feels about dogs."

-- John Osborne



"If you can't annoy somebody, there is little point in writing."

-- Kingsley Amis
