    But sure there is need of other remedies than dreaming, a weak contention of art against nature.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    No one of the characters in my novels has originated, so far as I know, in real life. If anything, the contrary was the case: persons playing a part in my life—the first twenty years of it—had about them something semi-fictitious.
