"Times are bad. Children no longer obey their parents, and everyone is writing 
a book."

"To create one must be able to respond. Creativity is the ability to
respond to all that goes on around us, to choose from the hundreds of 
possibilities of though, feeling, action, and reaction and to put these 
together in a unique response, expression or message that carries moment, 
passion and meaning. In this sense, loss of our creative milieu means finding 
ourselves limited to only one choice, divested of, suppressing, or cendoring 
feelings and thoughts, not acting, not saying, doing, or being."

"Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public 
and have no self."

"...when fits of creativity run strong, more than one programmer or writer
has been known to abandon the desktop for the more spacious floor."

"A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the 
truth about its author."

Groucho Marx
"From the moment I picked up your book until I laid it down, I was
convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it."

into the other room and read a book."
