I've Been A Free Man.

If Ever You Wish To Meet Intellectual Frauds In Quantity, Go To Paris.

I Wish My Prose To Be Transparent—i Don't Want The Reader To Stumble Over Me; I Want Him To Look Through What I'm Saying To What I'm Describing. I Don't Want Him Ever To Say, Oh, Goodness, How Nicely Written This Is. That Would Be A Failure.

In A Way My Reputation Has Become That Of The Curmudgeon.
