"Writing simply means no dependent clauses, no..." - Quote by Dr Seuss

“In the house, and on the street, how many, many feet you meet.”

“Oh, the places you will go.”

“Thank goodness for all the things you are not, thank goodness you're not something someone forgot, and left all alone in some punkerish place, like a rusty tin coat hanger hanging in space.”

“When I'm my own editor, there's very little difference between the first draft and the final. I write what feels right to begin with. I rarely make any major changes.”

“I write for myself things that I've gone through.”

“I never knew what was meant by choice of words. It was one word or none.”

“Billy Collins writes lovely poems. Limpid, gently and consistently startling, more serious than they seem, they describe all the worlds that are and were and some others besides.”

“The affectation of some late authors to introduce and multiply cant words is the most ruinous corruption in any language.”

“My style was impetuous, my defenses were impregnable, and I was ferocious.”
