3 quotes

The free-lance writer is a man who is paid per piece or per word or perhaps.

Nine-tenths of the value of a sense of humor in writing is not in the things it makes one write but in the things it keeps one from writing.

It took me fifteen years to discover that I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up because by that time I was too famous.

Robert Benchley (1955)
