Through joy and through sorrow, I wrote. Through hunger and through thirst, I wrote. Through good report and through ill report, I wrote. Through sunshine and through moonshine, I wrote. What I wrote it is unnecessary to say.
Edgar Allan Poe
Writing is the flip side of sex: it's good only when it's over.
Hunter S. Thompson
The biographer's subject has no inner life. No matter how many letters, diaries or suicide notes the subject leaves behind, all you have are lies. You can't know what goes on in someone else's head.
Greil Marcus
Don’t worry about errors when you’re writing. The biographers will explain all errors.
Henry Miller
