En bok, ett citat - The Facts


They made being poor look so easy that I decided to follow their example and become poor myself someday, either as an English professor like Bob or as a serious writer who was so good that his books made no money.

Fantastiskt citat! Far jag kontra med ett mahanda mer banalt uttalande, som icke desto mindre hjalpt mig igenom forvirrade stunder:
I wish I would have a really tragic love affair and get so bummed out that I just quit my job and become a bum for a few years, because I was thinking about doing that anyway.
-- Deep Thoughts, by Jack Handey

Kanske banal, men inte alls dum!

Det riktigt roliga med Roth-citatet tycker jag är att han hittills inte har lyckats bli tillräckligt bra för att inte tjäna pengar på sina böcker.
