A sequel is an admission that you've been reduced to imitating yourself.

Prohibition makes you want to cry into your beer and denies you the beer to cry into.

I cannot explain why they made that sequel to Secret of NIMH. Because they claim that it the original didn't make money, so what was the enthusiasm to make a sequel?

When a man tells you that he got rich through hard work, ask him: 'Whose?'

If you want to get rich from writing, write the sort of thing that's read by persons who move their lips when they're reading to themselves.
