A bad author can take the most moral issue and make you want to just never, ever think about that moral issue.

A bad book is as much of a labor to write as a good one, it comes as sincerely from the author's soul.

Good authors, too, who once knew better words now only use four-letter words writing prose... anything goes.

It's with bad sentiments that one makes good novels.

There are plenty of bad editors who try to impose their own vision on a book.

Catch me on a good day, I think half of my books aren't too bad. Catch me on a bad day, I think I've never written a good line.

When a writer declares that his first book is his best, that is bad. I progress successively from book to book.

I haven't ever found any great writing on that wonderful and often unappreciated art form, the insult.
