It Is a Lot of Work Writing about Not Working

Tim Ferris, author of The 4-Hour Work Week, stole a line from me before I was about to think of it and use it in one of my books.

Tim writes, "The truth be told, it is a hell of a lot of work writing about not working."

The nerve of the guy!

As the author of The Joy of Not Working, I should have exlusive right to this line.

Perhaps I will have to sue him.

As Mark Twain once said, "I can’t do any more writing because I’m contemplating a gigantic lawsuit and looking around for a defendant."

Here are a few more quotes about writing by writers.

I you want to be a writer - stop talking about it and sit down and write!
- Jackie Collings

Write drunk; edit sober.
- Ernest Hemingway

I'm a lousy writer; a helluva lot of people have got lousy taste.
- Grace Metalious

When I had got my notes all written out I thought I'd polish it off in two summers, but it took me twenty-seven years.
- Arnold Toynbee

The three great essentials to achieving anything worthwhile are; first, hard work, second, stick-to-it-iveness, and third, common sense.
- Thomas Edison

You may think that socialism is the only answer to make your retirement living a lot easier and financially more secure.

If who really think socialism will have worked better, here are four quotes to consider:

Socialism is workable only in heaven where it isn't needed, and in hell where they've got it.
— Cecil Palmer

The function of socialism is to raise suffering to a higher level.
— Norman Mailer

Socialism in nothing but the capitalism of the lower classes.
— Oswald Spengler

Under capitalism man exploits man; under socialism the reverse is true.
— Polish proveb
