It's not quite on topic, but since we're posting quotes, here's one from Somerset Maugham that I like:
"I have never pretended to be anything but a story teller. It has amused me to tell stories and I have told a great many. It is a misfortune for me that the telling of a story just for the sake of the story is not an activity that is in favor with the intelligentsia. I endeavor to bear my misfortunes with fortitude."
Always helps to put things into perspective for me, as a reader and a writer. Go figure.
