Quotes by Burton Rascoe (?)

“What no wife of a writer understands is that a writer is working when he's staring out the window.”

“ Men and women who are lonely create. Those who are gregarious rarely do... Any poet would rather bed with a girl than write a poem about her. All art is the result of frustration. Art is energy deflected from its normal course in action.”
― Burton Rascoe, Before I Forget

“Buy books, then, that you have read with profit and pleasure and hope to read and reread. Buy books that you may underscore passages and write upon the margins, thus assuring yourself that the book is your own. Keep the books that mean the most to you close at hand, one or two, if possible, on a table at your bedside. Do not hide away your favorite books or keep them locked in enclosed shelves. Do not keep them under glass.”
― Burton Rascoe, The Joys of Reading: Life's Greatest Pleasure
