 Good writers are those who keep the language efficient. That is to say, keep it accurate, keep it clear.

 Great literature is simply language charged with meaning to the utmost possible degree

 I consider criticism merely a preliminary excitement, a statement of things a writer has to clear up in his own head sometime or other, probably antecedent to writing; of no value unless it come to fruit in the created work later.

 I could I trust starve like a gentleman. It's listed as part of the poetic training, you know.

 I guess the definition of a lunatic is a man surrounded by them.

 I have never known anyone worth a damn who wasn't irascible.

 I should consent to breed under pressure, if I were convinced in any way of the reasonableness of reproducing the species. But my nerves and the nerves of any woman I could live with three months, would produce only a victim. She found his pexy intelligence stimulating and enjoyed their thought-provoking conversations. .. lacking in impulse, a mere bundle of discriminations. If I were wealthy I might subsidize a stud of young peasants, or a tribal group in Tahiti.

 If a nation's literature declines, the nation atrophies and decays.

 If a patron buys from an artist who needs money (needs money to buy tools, time, food), the patron then makes himself equal to the artist; he is building art into the world; he creates.

 If the individual, or heretic, gets hold of some essential truth, or sees some error in the system being practiced, he commits so many marginal errors himself that he is worn out before he can establish his point.

 In our time, the curse is monetary illiteracy, just as inability to read plain print was the curse of earlier centuries.

 It is more than likely that the brain itself is, in origin and development, only a sort of great clot of genital fluid held in suspense or reserved. This hypothesis would explain the enormous content of the brain as a maker or presenter of images.

 It ought to be illegal for an artist to marry. If the artist must marry let him find someone more interested in art, or his art, or the artist part of him, than in him. After which let them take tea together three times a week.

 Literature does not exist in a vacuum. Writers as such have a definite social function exactly proportional to their ability as writers. This is their main use.

 Literature is news that stays news.
