Our Final Daily Dive of the week
Join us to write in companionable silence...
“Any writer, I suppose, feels that the world into which (they) were born is nothing less than a conspiracy against the cultivation of (their) talent - which attitude certainly has a great deal to support it.” James Baldwin, Notes Of A Native Son
”On the other hand, it is only because the world looks on (their) talent with such a frightening indifference that the artist is compelled to make (their) talent important. So that any writer, looking back over even so short a span of time as I am here forced to assess, finds that the things which hurt (them) and the things that helped (them) cannot be divorced from each other; they could be helped in a certain way only because they were hurt in a certain way; and their help is simply to be enabled to move from one conundrum to the next - one is tempted to say that they move from one disaster to the next. When one begins looking for influences one finds them by the score.”
