Andre Dubus Quotes

But The Writer Who Endures And Keeps Working Will Finally Know That Writing The Book Was Something Hard And Glorious, For At The Desk A Writer Must Try To Be Free Of Prejudice, Meanness Of Spirit, Pettiness, And Hatred; Strive To Be A Better Human Being Than The Writer Normally Is, And To Do This Through Concentration On A Single Word, And Then Another, And Another. This Is Splendid Work, As Worthy And Demanding As Any, And The Will And Resilience To Do It Are Good For The Writer's Soul.
