—Katherine Anne Porter (18901980)
“If you can speak what you will never hear, if you can write what you will never read, you have done rare things.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“What youre trying to do when you write is to crowd the reader out of his own space and occupy it with yours, in a good cause. Youre trying to take over his sensibility and deliver an experience that moves from mere information.”
—Robert Stone (b. 1937)
