“As artists they’re rot, but as providers they’re oil wells; they gush. Norris said she never wrote a story unless it was fun to do. I understand Ferber whistles at her typewriter. And there was that poor sucker Flaubert rolling around on his floor for three days looking for the right word.”

“The will is never free—it is always attached to an object, a purpose. It is simply the engine in the car—it can’t steer.”
