You know how creative people are, we have to try everything until we find our niche.

It's a shame there has to be a tragedy before the best in people will finally shine.

It's not unpatriotic to denounce an injustice committed on our behalf, perhaps it's the most patriotic thing we can do.

Editors can be stupid at times. They just ignore that author's intention. I always try to read unabridged editions, so much is lost with cut versions of classic literature, even movies don't make sense when they are edited too much.

I mean, how would people like it if editors came along and said to an artist, 'Whoops, you left just a tad too much space around that lily pad there, lets crop that a bit, shall we?'. Monet would be ripping his hair out.
