The role of
the writer is not simply to arrange Being according to his
own lights; he must also serve as a medium to Being and
remain open to its often unfathomable dictates. This is the
only way the work can transcend its creator and radiate its
meaning further than the author himself can see or perceive.
-- Vaclav Havel
1936-, Czech Playwright,

The
characteristic of Chaucer is intensity: of Spencer,
remoteness: of Milton elevation and of Shakespeare

-- William Hazlitt
1778-1830, British Essayist

They're fancy

writers advice, I would say don't listen to writers talking
about writing or themselves.
