ems dies
Let' em learn or let' em die
thinking young dies
young or old, good or bad, I don't think anything dies as slow and as hard as a writer.
circus triviality dies
We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus!
people left dies
Most people's deaths are a sham. There's nothing left to die.
night ifs dies
Some nights I knew that if I slept I would die.
taught dies
It’s never quite right, all the things we are taught, all the loves we chase, all the deaths we die, all the lives we live.

Let it die. Let there be a new beginning. It’s awful. Goodnight.

That is what friendship means. Sharing the prejudice of experience.
drinking wine writing
I write right off the typer. I call it my "machinegun." I hit it hard, usually late at night while drinking wine and listening to classical music on the radio and smoking mangalore ganesh beedies.
writing agony sweat
I seldom know what I'm going to write when I sit down. There isn't much agony and sweat of the human spirit involved in doing it. The writing's easy, it's the living that is sometimes difficult.
mean writing night
A dry period for me means perhaps going two or three nights without writing. I probably have dry periods but I'm not aware of them and I go on writing, only the writing probably isn't much good.
laughing magic lines
Hemingway and Saroyan had the line, the magic of it. The problem was that Hemingway didn't know how to laugh and Saroyan was filled with sugar.
young wells
I guess for me Hemingway is a lot like it is for others: he goes down well when we are young.
