For a long time now I have tried simply to write the best I can. Sometimes I have good luck and write better than I can.
I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen.
I don't like to write like God. It is only because you never do it, though, that the critics think you can't do it.
They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for one's country. But in modern war, there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason.
