“Each writer is born with a repertory company in his head. Shakespeare has perhaps 20 players, and Tennessee Williams has about 5, and Samuel Beckett one—and maybe a clone of that one. I have 10 or so, and that’s a lot. As you get older, you become more skillful at casting them.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“The writer is either a practising recluse or a delinquent, guilt-ridden one; or both. Usually both.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
