“Each writer is born with a repertory company in his head. Shakespeare has perhaps 20 players. … I have 10 or so, and that’s a lot. As you get older, you become more skillful at casting them.”
—Gore Vidal“For your born writer, nothing is so healing as the realization that he has come upon the right word.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen
