Quote of the Day: Bennett Cerf
This about says it all…don’t you think?
Coleridge was a drug addict. Poe was an alcoholic. Marlowe was killed by a man whom he was treacherously trying to stab. Pope took money to keep a woman’s name out of a satire then wrote a piece so that she could still be recognized anyhow. Chatterton killed himself. Byron was accused of incest. Do you still want to be a writer – and if so, why?

Didn’t Hemingway blow his brains out? Hunter S. Thompson did that, too, didn’t he? So did John O’Brien (the author of Leaving Las Vegas). But J. K. Rowling did buy a castle…. :D
