“In the first act get your principal character up a tree; in the second act, throw stones at him; in the third, get him down gracefully.”  — The Bridgeport Herald, 1897 (incorrectly attributed to Vladimir Nabokov, much like 'Let Them Eat Cake' has been attributed to Marie Antoinette)

"We think we want the money, but that's not really it. It's a symbol of something and we should all be rewarded for doing good work, but it comes slowly....I never even noticed I was poor. I was too busy." ~Ray Bradbury (giving advice to young writers)
