"I write by ear. I tried writing..." - Quote by Groucho Marx

“My experience is that people are most likely to listen to reason when in bed.”

“You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, and that's not saying much for you”

“All geniuses die young.”

“Then there was a man who said, 'I never knew what real happiness was until I got married; by then it was too late'”

“Let me tell you what I look like: pale face, long hair, and a tiny start of a paunch. In addition, an awkward gait, and a cigar in the mouth and a pen in pocket or hand.”

“He can compress the most words into the smallest ideas of any man I ever met.”

“People ask me why I write. I write to find out what I know.”

“Why all this insistence on the senses? Because in order to convince your reader that he is THERE, you must assault each of his senses, in turn, with color, sound, taste, and texture. If your reader feels the sun on his flesh, the wind fluttering his shirt sleeves, half your fight is won. The most improbable tales can be made believable, if your reader, through his senses, feels certain that he stands at the middle of events. He cannot refuse, then, to participate. The logic of events always gives way to the logic of the senses.”

“Being a famous writer is a little like being a tall dwarf. You're on the edge of normality.”
