Quotes
"The work is mysterious and important." —Severance
"It’s an accepted fact that all writers are crazy; even the normal ones are weird." —William Goldman
"The mind of a writer can be a truly terrifying thing: Isolated, neurotic, caffeine-addled, crippled by procrastination, consumed by feelings of panic, self-loathing, and soul-crushing inadequacy… and that's on a good day." —Robert De Niro
