“Only a generation of readers will span a generation of writers.”
“The novelties of one generation are only the resuscitated fashions of the generation before last.”
“That is a very poor career, but only a poor career give the world the light that an imperfect, but pretty good writer wants to generate--at all costs, unfotunately.”
“True success comes only when every generation continues to develop the next generation.”
“Each literature bears its freight of the eclipsed; each generation shows us writers in the process of disappearing.”
“A writer is, after all, only half his book. The other half is the reader and from the reader the writer learns.”
