What you're
trying to do when you write is to crowd the reader out of
his own space and occupy it with yours, in a good cause.
You're trying to take over his sensibility and deliver an
experience that moves from mere information.
-- Robert Stone
1937-, American Novelist
What an
occupation! To sit and flay your fellow men and then offer
their skins for sale and expect them to buy them.
-- J. August Strindberg
1849-1912, Swedish Dramatist,

Let's face it,
writing is hell.
-- William Styron
1925-, American Novelist
O Grub Street!
how do I bemoan thee, whose graceless children scorn to own
thee! . Yet thou hast greater cause to be ashamed of them,
than they of thee.
-- Jonathan Swift
1667-1745, Anglo-Irish
