“The impulse to perfection cannot exist where the definition of perfection is the arbitrary decision of authority.

The volatile essences which make literature cannot survive the clichés of a long series of story conferences.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“One can survive anything these days, except death, and live down anything except a good reputation.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
