I've found out why men sign their names to their works- not that they created them but more than the others did not.

A man needed somebody. There wasn't anybody around, so you had to make up somebody, make him up to be like a man should be. It wasn't make-believe or cheating. The other way was make-believe and cheating: living your life without a man like him around.

some men never die and some men never live but we're all alive tonight.

If it doesn't come bursting out of you in spite of everything, don’t do it.

not writing is not good but trying to write when you can't is worse.

Complaint is often the result of an insufficient ability to live within the obvious restrictions of this god damned cage.

I am aware that a computer can’t create a poem, but neither can a typewriter.
