“A writer who writes straight is the architect of history.”
Introduction to 1932 Modern Library edition of Three Soldiers
Kontext: The mind of a generation is its speech. A writer makes aspects of that speech enduring by putting them in print. He whittles at the words and phrases of today and makes of them forms to set the mind of tomorrow's generation. That's history. A writer who writes straight is the architect of history.
“If there is a special Hell for writers it would be in the forced contemplation of their own works”
"Looking Back on U.S.A.," New York Times, Oct 25 1959
Kontext: If there is a special Hell for writers it would be in the forced contemplation of their own works, with all the misconceptions, the omissions, the failures that any finished work of art implies.
