"I don't enjoy writing, and I certainly would not do it for a living.
Some people do, but some people enjoy flagellation."
Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh

Thats a good one!
I stumbled across a good one from Montaigne yesterday -
'I quote others only in order to better express myself'
Yes, agree with that - just so long as we don't get to hide behind other peoples words!
I wouldn't exactly describe the process as flagellation, but it has its moments!
You see, the Duke is much misunderstood. He's actually very broadminded, as this quote underlines.
Hah, that might be funny, Karen, if I didn't feel I was going through one of those moments right now!
Alex, that made me laugh out loud.
Hmm. I quite like writing, I suppose, and have always done it for a living, since well before I left university. I'm also extremely partial to flagellation - self or otherwise.
I can't see what the Duke guy is getting at. Pfft.
