The talent of a writer is his ability to give them their separate names, identities, personalities and have them relate to other characters living with him. Critics can't even make music by rubbing their back legs together. Everything we do in life is based on fear, especially love. He who hesitates is poor. Hope for the best, expect the worst.
Life is a play.
I don't believe in this business of being behind, better to be in front. Life literally abounds in comedy if you just look around you.
