If I had a shiny gun I could have a world of fun Speeding bullets through the brains Of the folks that cause me pains :)

Benchley and I had an office in the old Life magazine that was so tiny, if it were an inch smaller it would have been adultery.

When I was young and bold and strong, The right was right, the wrong was wrong. With plume on high and flag unfurled, I rode away to right the world. But now I’m old - and good and bad, Are woven in a crazy plaid. I sit and say the world is so, And wise is s/he who lets it go.

Genius can write on the back of old envelopes but mere talent requires the finest stationery available.

It is that word 'hunny,' my darlings, that marks the first place in The House at Pooh Corner at which Tonstant Weader fwowed up.

If you're going to write, don't pretend to write down. It's going to be the best you can do, and it's the fact that it's the best you can do that kills you.

And I'll stay off Verlaine too; he was always chasing Rimbauds.
