Charles Bukowski quote: "bad writing's like bad women: there's just not much you can do..."
bad writing's like bad women: there's just not much you can do about it Charles Bukowski

In his Comedy, Dante Alighieri names Virgil, with many tokens of respect, as his teacher, and yet, as Herr Meinhard remarks, makes such ill use of him: a clear proof that even in the days of Dante one praised the ancients without knowing why. This respect for poets one does not understand and yet wishes to equal is the source of the bad writing in our literature. Georg C. Lichtenberg
The story of Jesus makes no sense to me. God sent his only son. Why could God only have one son and why would he have to die? It's just bad writing, really. And it's really terrible in about the second act. Trey Parker

Francoise Sagan quote: "I shall live badly if I do not write, and I shall write badly..."
I shall live badly if I do not write, and I shall write badly if I do not live. Francoise Sagan
As for myself: I had come to the conclusion that there was nothing sacred about myself or any human being, that we were all machines, doomed to collide and collide and collide. For want of anything better to do, we became fans of collisions. Sometimes I wrote well about collisions, which meant I was a writing machine in good repair. Sometimes I wrote badly, which meant I was a writing machine in bad repair. I no more harbored sacredness than did a Pontiac, a mousetrap, or a South Bend Lathe. Kurt Vonnegut
