"You need a good editor because every writer……" — Samuel Johnson

You need a good editor because every writer thinks he can write… - Samuel Johnson
"You need a good editor because every writer thinks he can write a War and Peace, but by the time he gets it on paper, it's not War and Peace anymore; it's comic-book stuff. Your manuscript is both good and original. But the part that is good is not original, and the part that is original is not good."

Samuel Johnson
