“I believe it is the inability of beginning writers to achieve at least a certain degree of detachment from their writing that defeats so many of them before they even get started. Without this distancing, any criticism of your writing will seem devastating, even incapacitating, whereas with the proper amount of detachment it will seem merely cruel and unusual punishment.”
― Patrick F. McManus, The Deer on a Bicycle: Excursions Into the Writing of Humor

“Even a book can be dangerous in the wrong hands, and when that happens, you blame the hands, but you also read the book.”
