—John Cheever (1912–1982)
“The writer probably knows what he meant when he wrote a book, but he should immediately forget what he meant when he’s written it.”
—William Golding (b. 1911)
“The writer studies literature, not the world. ...He is careful of what he reads, for that is what he will write.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
