"The writer wants to be understood much more than he wants to be respected or praised or even loved. And that, perhaps, is what makes him different from others."
- Leo C. Rosten

"An intellectual is a man who says a simple thing in a difficult way; an artist is a man who says a difficult thing in a simple way."
- Charles Bukowski

"Why do some people write? Because they are too weak not to."
- Karl Kraus
