"This is what I find most encouraging about the writing trades: They allow mediocre people who are patient and industrious to revise their stupidity, to edit themselves into something like intelligence. They also allow lunatics to seem saner than sane." - Kurt Vonnegut, Preface to Wampeters, Foma & Granfalloons
"You take a really sleepy man, Esme, and he always stands a chance of again becoming a man with all his fac---with all his f-a-c-u-l-t-i-e-s intact." - Salinger, For Esme - With Love and Squalor
