I kept always two books in my pocket, one to read, one to write in.Robert Louis Stevenson
Not a wasted word. This has been a main point to my literary thinking all my life.Hunter S. Thompson
The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.Mark Twain
Always tell the truth. Then you don't have to remember anything.Mark Twain
Roughin' it
First get your facts, then distort them at your leisure.Mark Twain
