I always wrote with the idea that what I put out there is going to stay there. Once I publish something, it has been published. I’ve never deleted more than one or two posts from my site. I don’t think that there are takebacks. I don’t feel right about it.
~~~~~~~
I am a galley slave to pen and ink.
~~~~~~~
I am always interested in why young people become writers, and from talking with many I have concluded that most do not want to be writers working eight and ten hours a day and accomplishing little; they want to have been writers, garnering the rewards of having completed a best-seller.

~~~~~~~
I even shower with my pen, in case any ideas drip out of the waterhead.
~~~~~~~
I hate the actor and audience business. An author should be in among the crowd, kicking their shins or cheering them on to some mischief or merriment.
~~~~~~~
I have been writing in spurts, bit by bit. It is incredibly difficult. Everything is corroded, broken, dismantled; everything is covered with hardened layers of accumulated insensitivity, deafness, entrenched routine. It is disgusting.
~~~~~~~
I have made this [letter] longer, because I have not had the time to make it shorter.
~~~~~~~
I have the conviction that excessive literary production is a social offence.
~~~~~~~
