"The writer must be in it; he can't be to one side of it, ever. He has to be endangered by it. His own attitudes have to be tested in it. The best work that anybody ever writes is the work that is on the verge of embarrassing him, always. ~Arthur Miller

 

 

 

 

 

"I've cut some of my favorite stuff. I hvae no compassion when it comes to cutting. No pity, no sympathy. Some of my dearest and most beloved bits of writing have gone with a very quick slash, slash, slash . . . these four pages out. Because something was heavy there. Cutting leads to economy, precision, and to a vastly improved script."          ~Paddy Chayefsky

 

 

 

 

 

"The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns, as it were instinctively, to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink." ~George Orwell
