On Writers:

"A writer without a cat risks taking himself too seriously." 

~ Garrison (Kildare) Reed

"My dad's a writer.  His favorite expression is: 'The pen is mightier than the sword," which I believed for a long time.  Until I moved into the city.  And I got into a fight with this guy.  He cut me up real bad, and I drew a mustache on his face.  And then I wrote him a nasty letter."

~ Kevin Brennan

"There is only one trait that marks the writer.  He is always watching.  It's a kind of trick of mind, and he is born with it."

~ Morley Callaghan

"Writers aren't exactly people. . . they're a whole lot of people trying to be one person."

~ F. Scott Fitzgerald
