When a writer is born into a family, Czeslaw Milosz once famously said, the family is finished. You could forget about having any more secrets.

What is meant by 'reality'? It would seem something very erratic, very undependable-now to be found in a dusty road, now in a scrap of newspaper in the street, now in a daffodil in the sun.

It overwhelms one walking home beneath the stars and makes the silent world more real than the world of speech-and then there it is again in an omnibus in the uproar of Picadilly. — Virginia Woolf
