Natalia Ginzburg Quotes

When I Write Something I Usually Think It Is Very Important And That I Am A Very Fine Writer. I Think This Happens To Everyone. But There Is One Corner Of My Mind In Which I Know Very Well What I Am, Which Is A Small, A Very Small Writer. I Swear I Know It. But That Doesn't Matter Much To Me. Only, I Don't Want To Think About Names: I Can See That If I Am Asked 'a Small Writer Like Who?' It Would Sadden Me To Think Of The Names Of Other Small Writers. I Prefer To Think That No One Has Ever Been Like Me, However Small, However Much A Mosquito Or A Flea Of A Writer I May Be. The Important Thing Is To Be Convinced That This Really Is Your Vocation, Your Profession, Something You Will Do All Your Life.
