—Thomas Hobbes (15791688)
“It seems to me that since Ive had children, Ive grown richer and deeper. They may have slowed down my writing for a while, but when I did write, I had more of a self to speak from.”
—Anne Tyler (20th century)
“If you want your writing to be taken seriously, dont marry and have kids, and above all, dont die. But if you have to die, commit suicide. They approve of that.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (b. 1929)
