In the world according to Garp, we are all terminal cases

You don't want to dwell on your enemies, you know. I basically feel so superior to my critics for the simple reason that they haven't done what I do. Most book reviewers haven't written 11 novels. Many of them haven't written one.

Writing is hard. I learned how to work hard from wrestling, not English courses.

There's no reason you should write any novel quickly.

It is your responsibility to find fault with me, it is mine to hear you out. But don't expect me to change.

I never know when I finish the novel I am writing which will be the next novel out of the station.

My brain is sending poison to my heart.
