“When you consider all the writers who never even had a machine. Who would have given an eyeball for a good typewriter. Any typewriter. All the ones who wrote on a matchbook covers. Paper bags. Toilet paper. Who had their writing destroyed by their jailers. Who persisted beyond all odds.” WritingGivenPaperMachinesDestroyedBagsOddsToiletsTypewritersEyeballsToilet PaperJailerPaper Bags Author:Sam Shepard
“To invent out of knowledge means to produce inventions that are true. Every man should have a built-in automatic crap detector operating inside him. It also should have a manual drill and a crank handle in case the machine breaks down. If you're going to write, you have to find out what's bad for you. Part of that you learn fast, and then you learn what's good for you.” IfsMenShouldWritingMeanBreakCasesProduceBuiltShould HaveMachinesEvery ManHandleInventionCrapBreaking DownManualsDrillsCrank Book:Ernest Hemingway: The Last Interview: and Other Conversations Source: Ernest Hemingway: The Last Interview: and Other Conversations
