I write of the wish that comes true--for some reason, a terrifying thought.

I won't stop writing until I am known as the Kurt Cobain of literature!

Ours is a culture and a time immensely rich in trash as it is in treasures.

The habit of writing for my eye is good practice. It loosens the ligaments.

This diary is my kief, hashish and opium pipe. This is my drug and my vice.

It wouldn't happen... There hasn't been one publication by a monkey

Novel writing is like heroin addiction; it takes everything you've got.

Come, let’s be calm: no one incapable of restraint was ever a writer.

[W]hat is one to say of the writer who lies when he writes that he is lying?

Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.

Being a writer is like having homework every night for the rest of your life

I never desire to converse with a man who has written more than he has read.

I type as fast as a ten-legged man who just had eight legs chopped off runs.

There is in writing the constant joy of sudden discovery, of happy accident.

I sit in my treeI sing like the birdsMy beak is my penMy songs are my poems.
