Julian Barnes Quotes
Do The Books That Writers Don't Write Matter? It's Easy To Forget Them, To Assume That The Apocryphal Bibliography Must Contain Nothing But Bad Ideas, Justly Abandoned Projects, Embarrassing First Thoughts. It Needn't Be So: First Thoughts Are Often Best, Cheeringly Rehabilitated By Third Thoughts After They've Been Loured At By Seconds. Besides, An Idea Isn't Always Abandoned Because It Fails Some Quality Control Test. The Imagination Doesn't Crop Annually Like A Reliable Fruit Tree. The Writer Has To Gather Whatever's There: Sometimes Too Much, Sometimes Too Little, Sometimes Nothing At All. And In The Years Of Glut There Is Always A Slatted Wooden Tray In Some Cool, Dark Attic, Which The Writer Nervously Visits From Time To Time
