Abe, Bill and the Brit

No takers on the last quiz. The answer: C.S. Lewis.

Perhaps echoing the thought in that first quote from Lewis is this statement from Abraham Lincoln:
"Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren't very new after all."

Will Rogers on his craft: "There's no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you."

And J.K. Rowling on hers: "I just write what I wanted to write. I write what amuses me. It's totally for myself."

Well, actually you did have "a taker" but she was wrong and too late. Of course it was C. S. Lewis but it did sound a little like Mark Twain, didn't it?
