    I wasn't trying to be quick I just remember lots about Isaac, growing up he was one of my favourite writers; I used to read SF magazines to read his articles but on with the show....

    Life is like playing the solo violin in public and learning the instrument

    EDIT: Playwright

    I think kuemper might me right, but just in case I'm going to guess Oscar Wilde, just to cover the bases. ;)

    No it's not Adams either.

    Clues Moved to Paris in 1928
    Won his first literary prize--10 pounds for a poem entitled "Whoroscopy" which dealt with the philosopher Descartes meditating on the subject of time and the transiency of life.

    EDIT: added name of poem

    EDIT: New Clue He was consistent in his loneliness. The unhappy boy soon grew into an unhappy young man, often so depressed that he stayed in bed until mid afternoon. He was difficult to engage in any lengthy conversation--it took hours and lots of drinks to warm him up--but the women could not resist him.
