I have a collection of cartoons about writing. One of my favorite is a drawing of a man sitting at a typewriter (sort of dates the cartoon a bit!) He has an angel sitting on one shoulder, whispering into his ear, "Write an epic novel about the beauty of life, tying together the threads that make up our civilization, and showing how the human condition can be improved....." On his other shoulder is a devil, shouting into his ear, "Tits and ass, man, tits and ass."

My absolute favorite, though, is Charles Dickens sitting across a desk from his publisher, who is whining at him, "Now, Mr. Dickens, was it the best of times or the worst of times? You can scarcely have it both ways."
