Once writing has become your major vice and greatest pleasure only death can stop it.

Everybody has strange things that mean things to them. You couldn't help it.

All a man has is pride. Sometimes you have it so much it is a sin. We have all done things for pride that we knew were impossible. We didn't care. But a man must implement his pride with intelligence and care.

The best way to become a writer is to go off and write.

There is no left and right in writing. There is only good and bad writing.

You make your own luck, Gig. You know what makes a good loser? Practice.

I suppose if a man has something once, always something of it remains.
