"Novelists are better off than playwrights.  You can't boo a bad book.  Or if you do you run the risk of being regarded as eccentric."

"There is a deep-rooted conviction in the profession that a good text is one that is easy to learn.  I don't believe it.  I think that in common with most good things a good text is one that is difficult to learn, but even more difficult to forget."

~ Peter Ustinov (1921 - 2004)  English Actor, playwright, dramatist, author, film maker, newspaper & magazine columnist.
