Just Right
"Always do right. That will gratify some of the people, and
astonish the rest.".
Mark Twain, Autobiography
Medium
I resent people who say writers write from experience. Writers
don't write from experience, though many are hesitant to admit that
they don't. I want to be clear about this. If you wrote from experience,
you'd get maybe one book, maybe three poems. Writers write from empathy.
Nikki Giovanni from Women's

Edmund: Never had anything you doctors didn't try to cure with leeches.
A leech on my ear for ear ache, a leech on my bottom for constipation.
Doctor: They're marvellous, aren't they? Edmund: Well, the bottom
one wasn't. I just sat there and squashed it. Doctor: You know the
leech comes to us on the highest authority? Edmund: Yes. I know that.
Dr. Hoffmann of Stuttgart, isn't it? Doctor: That's right, the great
Hoffmann. Edmund: Owner of the largest leech farm of Europe. Doctor:
Yes. Well, I cannot spend all day gossiping. I'm a busy man. As far
as this case is concerned I have now had time to think it over and
I can strongly recommend a [in chorus] course of leeches. Edmund:
Yes. I 'll pop a couple down my codpiece before I go to bed ?
Edmund Blackadder (Rowan Atkinson) from Blackadder
