I never thought about being a writer as I grew up. A writer wasn't something I wanted to be. An outfielder was something to be. Most of what I know about style I learned from Roberto Clemente.

A man man may dwell so long upon a thought that it may take him prisoner.

One man's blasphemy doesn't override other people's free-speech rights, their freedom to publish, freedom of thought.
