“I didn’t have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead.” – Blaise Pascal

“I suppose some editors are failed writers, but so are most writers.” – T.S. Eliot

“Editors are craftsmen, ghosts, psychiatrists, bullies, sparring partners, experts, enablers, ignoramuses, translators, writers, goalies, friends, foremen, wimps, ditch diggers, mind readers, coaches, bomb throwers, muses and spittoons — sometimes all while working on the same piece.” – Gary Kamiya, Salon.com
