"Hemingway hated me. I sold 200 million books, and he didn’t. Of course most of mine sold for 25 cents, but still… you look at all this stuff with a grain of salt."
~ Mickey Spillane, born today, 1918.

WIST Quotations Has Moved!A quotation from Mickey Spillane
The critics panned Spillane, but he didn’t care. He said, “Those big-shot writers could never dig the fact that there are more salted peanuts consumed than caviar.” He said he never had a character who drank cognac or had a mustache, because he didn’t know how to spell those words. He said, “I have no fans. You know what I got? Customers. And customers are your friends.”Mickey Spillane (1918-2006) American crime novelist [Frank Morrison Spillane]
