I post this from time to time, and now's the time to post it again, I figure, as I just read Stephen Blackmoore's wonderful piece at his L.A. Noir blog. From Woody Guthrie:

About the only thing I ever learned in school was speed typing. All that stuff in books is second hand, I thought. Writin's no profession for a man these days. With all these poor folks wandering around the country as homeless as little doggies, what I should do is strop on a couple of six-shooters and blow open the doors of the bank and feed people and give them houses. The only reason I don't do that is because I ain't got the guts.
