    That’s cute, Lickona, the way you pretend it isn’t you.

  2. I’m sick of famous people.

  3. One of Faulkner’s children once asked him to come out to play ball while he was working.

    His response:

    “No one ever remembered Shakespeare’s daughter.”

    The Thing Is…

    …if you’re a brilliant writer, you get forgiven a lot of things: antisocial behavior, excessive drinking, fits of depression, offensive comments, general melancholy, moral lapses…I’ll stop now.
