Robert Benchley said, "It took me fifteen years to discover that I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up because by that time I was too famous."

Extempore epitaph

Here lyeth, friend, a gentle wight
Who did no wrong, but could not write
Each day he'd plan---but plan in vain---
A book---and then he'd plan again;
Until at last his soul was took---
Yet, though his life hath left no book,
Pray, with his grieving friends and wife
His name be in the Book of Life

James Wilson, The Dark Clue, p. 87
