On writing:

"Inspiration is wonderful when it happens, but the writer must develop an approach for the rest of the time... The wait is simply too long." --- Leonard Bernstein

"I've always believed in writing without a collaborator, because where two people are writing the same book, each believes he gets all the worries and only half the royalties." --- Agatha Christie

"Words, once they are printed, have a life of their own." --- Carol Burnett

"The skill of writing is to create a context in which other people can think." --- Edwin Schlossberg
