Here is the piece. If you can't say fornicate can you say copulate or if not that can you say co-habit? If not that would have to say consummate I suppose. Use your own good taste and judgment.

I would write one true sentence, and then go on from there.

In order to be a great writer a person must have a built-in, shockproof crap detector.

No subject is terrible if the story is true, if the prose is clean and honest, and if it affirms courage and grace under pressure.

The better the writers the less they will speak about what they have written themselves.

Though there is one part of writing that is solid and you do it no harm by talking about it, the other is fragile, and if you talk about it, the structure cracks and you have nothing.

In modern war... you will die like a dog for no good reason.
