Quote

When his life was ruined, his family killed, his farm destroyed, Job knelt down on the ground and yelled up to the heavens, 'Why god? Why me?' and the thundering voice of God answered, 'There's just something about you that pisses me off.'

Death, but not for you, gunslinger. Never for you. You darkle. You tinct. May I be brutally frank? You go on.

There's nothing as human as hunger. There's no creation without talent, I give you that, but talent is cheap. Talent goes begging. Hunger is the piston of art.

Writing is like sex. The more you think about it, the harder it is to do. It's better not to think about it so much and just let it happen.

The low bird is not picked tenderly out of the dust by its fellows rather, it is dispatched quickly and without mercy.
