“Every writer is necessarily a critic—that is, each sentence is a skeleton accompanied by enormous activity of rejection; and each selection is governed by general principles concerning truth, force, beauty, and so on....

—Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)

“Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
