Ngaio Marsh quotes

We do not wait for inspiration. We work because we've jolly well got to. But when all is said and done, we toil at this particular job because it's turned out to be our particular job, and in a weird sort of way I suppose we may be said to like it. (Ngaio Marsh)
Above all things -- read. Read the great stylists who cannot be copied rather than the successful writers who must not be copied. View quote
