"Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another."

"What difference does it make if you live in a picturesque little outhouse surrounded by 300 feeble minded goats and your faithful dog? The question is: Can you write?"

"Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another."

"For a long time now I have tried simply to write the best I can. Sometimes I have good luck and write better than I can."

"Do you suffer when you write? I don't at all. Suffer like a bastard when don't write, or just before, and feel empty and fucked out afterwards. But never feel as good as while writing."

"My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way."

"it is all very well for you to write simply and the simpler the better. But do not start to think so damned simply. Know how complicated it is and then state it simply."

"If two people love each other there can be no happy end to it."

"Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut."

"The first draft of anything is shit."

"There is no friend as loyal as a book."

"I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?"

"I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?"

"Madame, all stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is no true-story teller who would keep that from you."

"I love to go to the zoo. But not on Sunday. I don't like to see the people making fun of the animals, when it should be the other way around."

"Madame, all stories, if continued far enough, end in death, and he is no true-story teller who would keep that from you."

"There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed."

"I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?"

"All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know."

"I drink to make other people more interesting."
