These quotes about the craft gave me pause.
“I sometimes feel that I have nothing to say and I want to communicate this.” –Damien Hurst
“It is so much worse to be a mediocre artist than to be a mediocre post office clerk.” –Rudolf Bing
“Writing … is an act of faith: I believe it’s also an act of hope, the hope that things can be better than they are.” –Margaret Atwood
“There’s a hell of a distance between wise-cracking and wit. Wit has truth in it; wisecracking is merely calisthenics with words.” –Dorothy Parker
“Beware you be not swallowed up in books! An ounce of love is worth a pound of knowledge.” –John Wesley
(All quotes from the Scott’s Almanac 2008 calendar. Most of them in February, I think.)
