quoteworthy

In defense of my adored Jonathan Safran Foer getting ragged on Huffington Post by a no doubt, frequently rejected writer, I bring you this quote:

"Any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae."
-Kurt Vonnegut

Granted, I have thrown a book or two against the wall myself but this quote is funny and apt it seems, which leads me to another quote:

"Sell while you can: you are not for all markets."
-Rosalind via Shakespeare, As You Like It
