“All writers are insane!”
“Writer? A complimentary term to conceal one’s insanities.”
“I don't think writers need to be insane. Just crazy.”
“Some days being a writer consists of telling yourself you aren't insane, your characters are.”
“A non-writing writer is a monster courting insanity."[Letter to Max Brod, July 5, 1922]”
“Writers Are Insane. For months we are lone wolves locked in our caves. Then overnight we become publicity hounds. It's a schizophrenic business.”
