Kennedy Was A Man Who Liked Writers

My Favorite Short-story Writer Is John Cheever

All Writers Are The Same - They Forget A Thousand Good Reviews And Remember One Bad One.

Horror Would Not Annoy A Soldier Any More Than The Sight Of A Hammer Annoys A Carpenter. It Is Sentimental To Pretend That Horror Is Not The Tool Of The Soldier, Just As The Hammer Is The Tool Of The Carpenter. We Live Off Death And The Threat Of Death And We Must Take It Calmly And Use It Well.... Eventually I Came To Enjoy Killing, As A Pianist Enjoys The Czerny Which Keeps His Fingers Limber For The Beethoven.

I've Gone On The Wagon, But My Body Doesn't Believe It.

No Writer Need Feel Sorry For Himself If He Writes And Enjoys It, Even If He Doesn't Get Paid.
