“There are no accusations with writing, no judgment, no shame, only freedom.”
“The only freedom that is of enduring importance is the freedom of intelligence, that is to say, freedom of observation and of judgment, exercised in behalf of purposes that are intrinsically worth while. The commonest mistake made about freedom is, I think, to identify it with freedom of movement, or, with the external or physical side of activity.”
“The new one actually reads, but only to pass judgment. This is the way kids learn today. Someone told them how you feel is more important than what you know, and so they think accusations are ideas. This is political correction run amok.”
“Just tell the truth, and they'll accuse you of writing black humor. ”
“The only judgment that truly matters is the final judgment.”
“Writing is freedom.”
