Kurt Vonnegut obviously understated his own intellect, nonetheless, his words of wisdom continue to inspire may writers and readers.
” . . . novelists are not only unusually depressed, by and large, but have, on the average, about the same IQs as the cosmetics consultants at Bloomingdale’s department store. Our power is patience. We have discovered that writing allows even a stupid person to seem halfway intelligent, if only that person will write the same thought over and over again, improving it just a little bit each time. It is a lot like inflating a blimp with a bicycle pump. Anybody can do it. All it takes is time.”
-Kurt Vonnegut, Palm Sunday
