Moliere on writing

I stumbled across this quote today from Moliere on writing: "Writing is like prostitution. First you do it for love, and then for a few close friends, then for money."

It was part of a forum discussion on Elance about "Why do you write?" and I loved it! It does seem to sum it up . . .the love of words grows into a strong desire to do nothing but write them and get paid for it.
