My favorite writer's quote of all time is from Edgar Rice Burroughs:<br>
<br>
<em>For thirty years I have been writing deathless classics, and I suppose that I shall keep on writing them until I am gathered to the bosom of Abraham. In all those years I have not learned one single rule for writing fiction, or anything else. I still write as I did thirty years ago: stories which I feel would entertain me and give me mental relaxation, knowing that there are millions of people just like me who will like the same things that I like.</em><br>
<br>
There's more wisdom and eloquence in that than in anything I could ever hope to say.<br>
