“Writing is an occupation in which you have to keep proving your talent to people who have none.”
― Jules Renard 1890

“In quickness is truth. The more swiftly you write, the more honest you are. In hesitation is thought. In delay comes the effort for a style, instead of leaping upon truth which is the only style worth deadfalling or tiger-trapping.”
― Ray Bradbury

“All I can do is turn a phrase until it catches the light.”
― Clive James, May Week Was in June

“Some truly bad writing, but brilliantly funny at the same time.
"When he was yet a million miles away the bright ring of fire that marked its portal filled the sky in front of him, flexing and twisting like the devil's anus in spasms of immortal agony.”
― Alan Glasser, The Demon Cosmos
