  Henry Louis Mencken

  Mark Twain

en He's pretty hot right now, and he couldn't be much hotter as a writer. He's a really good writer, and he writes in a lot of different directions. He's so crazy that sometimes people who aren't around both sides of him don't appreciate what a heartfelt guy he is and how really talented he is.

  Simone Weil

en Show me a writer, any writer, who hasn't suffered and I'll show you someone who writes in pastels as opposed to primary colors.
  Rita Mae Brown

en Truth must necessarily be stranger than fiction, for fiction is the creation of the human mind and therefore congenial to it.
  G. K. Chesterton

  Jim Rohn

en Why shouldn't truth be stranger than fiction? Fiction, after all, has to make sense.
