Quotes from Writers

A while back our now-president, Steve Manning, asked us to send quotes from writers. The only ones I could think of off the top of my head was something Melville said about "damned women scribblers" which didn't seem useful or even appropriate, but today I came across an interesting list of quotes by writers in the literary magazine "Summerset Review."

My favorite? "I decided to write a letter to the author and tell her how badly I thought she had treated her leading lady then found that Katherine Mansfield had been dead for many years ... " -- Thomas E. Kennedy

Been there.
