SYDNEY: A lot of writers drink. Some drink before they write and some drink after they write. The ones that concern me are the ones who drink instead of writing. Even though a number of people have tried, no on has yet found a way to drink for a living.

Jean Kerr (1922–2003) American author and playwright [b. Bridget Jean Collins]

Play (1965), Poor Richard , Act 1
