Wit ought to be a glorious treat like caviar; never spread it about like marmalade.
What I adore is supreme professionalism. I’m bored by writers who can write only when it’s raining.
To take a gloomy view of life is not part of my philosophy; to laugh at the idiocies of my fellow creatures is. However, at this particular moment I cannot find so much to laugh at as I would like.
I write at high speed because boredom is bad for my health.
