Famous quotes containing the words writing and, writing and/or inspiration:

    ...I don’t have an inner drive to do as well as anybody else ... I have a great pleasure in writing and part of that is political and part of that is I’m surprised that I’ve done as well as I have. I really am just surprised.

    Alan Jay Lerner (1918–1986)
