Edna Ferber quotes
"Being an old maid is like death by drowning, a really delightful sensation after you cease to struggle."
"A woman can look book moral and exciting ... if she also looks as if it was quite a struggle."
"Writers should be read but not seen. Rarely are they a winsome sight."
"Perhaps too much of everything is as bad as too little."
"Life can't ever really defeat a writer who is in love with writing, for life itself is a writer's lover until death--fascinating"
"Living in the past is a dull and lonely business looking back strains the neck muscles, causes you to bump into people not going"
"Only amateurs say that they write for their own amusement. Writing is not an amusing occupation. It is a combination of ditch-di"
"Perhaps too much of everything is as bad as too little."
