Writing in the incurable itch that possesses many.

Juvenal

Writing is like a 'lust,' or like 'scratching when you itch.' Writing comes as a result of a very strong impulse, and when it does come, I for one must get it out.

An incurable itch for scribbling takes possession of many, and grows inveterate in their insane breasts.

Juvenal

Time in its irresistible and ceaseless flow carries along on its flood all created things and drowns them in the depths of obscurity. . . . But the tale of history forms a very strong bulwark against the stream of time, and checks in some measure its irresistible flow, so that, of all things done in it, as many as history has taken over it secures and binds together, and does not allow them to slip away into the abyss of oblivion.

Anna Komnene

Nothing is irresistible. There is no feeling that is irresistible.

Laura Schlessinger
