"Coleridge
was a drug addict. Poe was an alcoholic. Marlowe was killed by a man whom
he was treacherously trying to stab. Pope took money to keep a woman's
name out of a satire then wrote a piece so that she could still be recognized
anyhow. Chatterton killed himself. Byron was accused of incest. Do you
still want to a writer - and if so, why?"
- Bennett Cerf
