You can do the best research and be making the strongest intellectual argument, but if readers don't get past the third paragraph you've wasted your energy and valuable ink.

Carl Hiaasen / quote

02Undated

Here's my rule: You always want to pay cash for your own books, because if they look at the name on the credit card and then they look at the name on the book jacket, then there's this look of such profound sympathy for you that you had to resort to this. It really is withering.

Carl Hiaasen / quote

03Undated

I've always enjoyed making people laugh. But in order for me to be funny, I have to get ticked off about something.

Carl Hiaasen / quote

04Undated

Good satire comes from anger. It comes from a sense of injustice, that there are wrongs in the world that need to be fixed. And what better place to get that well of venom and outrage boiling than a newsroom, because you're on the front lines.

Carl Hiaasen / quote

05Undated

Carl Hiaasen / quote
