-- “They talk of the dignity of work. The dignity is in leisure.”
Joseph Conrad
-- “Gossip is what no one claims to like, but everybody enjoys.”
-- “Facing it, always facing it, that's the way to get through. Face it.”
James Michener
-- “Unless you think you can do better than Tolstoy, we don't need you”
-- “I'm not a very good writer, but I'm an excellent rewriter.”
