Loose Lips Sink Ships

“Writing is different.  Other people get into occupations by accident or design; but writers are born.  We have to write.  I have to write.  I could work at selling motels, or slopping hogs, for fifty years, but if someone asked my occupation, I’d say writer, even if I’d never sold a word. Writers write.  Other people talk.”

-J.D. Salinger, Shoeless Joe
