Going to our school is an education in itself which is not to be confused with actually getting an education. Charles M. Schulz
I suppose this is a trivial matter but I do want to object to the maddening fuss-fidget punctuation which one of your editors is attempting to impose on my story. I said it before but I'll say it again, that unless necessary for clarity of meaning I would prefer a minimum of goddamn commas, hyphens, apostrophes, quotation marks and fucking (most obscene of all punctuation marks) semi-colons. I've had to waste hours erasing that storm of flyshit on the typescript. [Regarding "The Monkey Wrench... Edward Abbey
Jodi Picoult quote: "I can't answer a single one of these, which is how I know that..."
I can't answer a single one of these, which is how I know that whether I'm ready or not, I'm growing up. Jodi Picoult

John Milton
