Julianna Baggott Quotes

The Truth That Writers Secretly Harbor Is That All Books Are Failures. We Try To Do Something That Can't Be Done. Words. Is That All We Rely On? Smudgy Ink Marks On A Page? Pallid Wisps And Blotches? Text As Scaffolding Trying To Hold Up Worlds? Actually, No, It's Not All We Rely On. What's Worse Is Our Reliance On The Reader. A Writer Is Forever Locked In An Interdependent Relationship. It's Like Building A Bridge From Opposite Sides Of A River - Our Flimsy Words And Their Frail, Overreaching Imaginations. The Bridge Will Never Meet In The Middle. It's Not Possible. Sometimes You Haven't Even Decided On The Same River. The Gateway Arch In Saint Louis Missed In The Middle By A Matter Of Inches The First Time Around. They Tried Again And Made It. Writers Know We Never Will.
