#Writing Quotes

“However accurate or inaccurate the agency's numbers may be, tax law explicitly presumes that the IRS is always right -- and implicitly presumes that the taxpayer is always wrong -- in any dispute with the government. In many cases, the IRS introduces no evidence whatsoever of its charges; it merely asserts that a taxpayer had a certain amount of unreported income and therefore owes a proportionate amount in taxes, plus interest and penalties.”
“But I don't read or listen for pleasure. I have too much else to do.”
“The novel is a meditation on existence as seen through the medium of imaginary characters.”
“My interest in film is sort of catholic - apart from science fiction and horror movies, I'll watch almost everything.”
“To write a poem you must have a streak of arrogance-- not in real life I hope. In real life try to be nice. It will save you a hell of a lot of trouble and give you more time to write.”
“Put a man on the brink of the abyss and - in the unlikely event that she doesn't fall into it - he will become a mystic or a madman... Which is probably the same thing!”
“Conventional economics is a form of brain damage.”
“I want to be a major force.”
