I Am Now And Have Always Been

A Writer Is Not A Confectioner, A Cosmetic Dealer, Or An Entertainer.

If You Cry ''forward'' You Must Be Sure To Make Clear The Direction In Which To Go. Don't You See That If You Fail To Do That And Simply Call Out The Word To A Monk And A Revolutionary, They Will Go In Precisely Opposite Directions?

A Litterateur Is Not A Confectioner, Not A Dealer In Cosmetics, Not An Entertainer. . . . He Is Just Like An Ordinary Reporter. What Would You Say If A Newspaper Reporter, Because Of His Fastidiousness Or From A Wish To Give Pleasure To His Readers, Were To Describe Only Honest Mayors, High-minded Ladies, And Virtuous Railroad Contractors.

Don't Tell Me The Moon Is Shining; Show Me The Glint Of Light On Broken Glass.

Exquisite Nature, Daydreams, And Music Say One Thing, Real Life Another.
