“Everywhere I go, I am asked if I think university stifles writers. My opinion is that it doesn't stifle enough of them.”
“Everywhere I go I'm asked if I think the university stifles writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a best-seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher.”
“I think that perhaps if I had had to slow down the ideas so that I could capture them on paper I might have stifled some of them.”
“I am—yet what I am none cares or knows; My friends forsake me like a memory lost: I am the self-consumer of my woes— They rise and vanish in oblivious host, Like shadows in love’s frenzied stifled throes And yet I am, and live—like vapours tossed”
“Thinking within strict limits is stifling”
“I am a brother to writers everywhere.”
