The way to rock oneself back into writing is this. First gentle exercise in the air. Second the reading of good literature. It is a mistake to think that literature can be produced from the raw. One must get out of life... one must become externalised; very, very concentrated, all at one point, not having to draw upon the scattered parts of one’s character, living in the brain Picture Quote #1

When people cannot write good literature it is perhaps natural that they should lay down rules how good literature should be written Picture Quote #1

Good literature erects bridges between different peoples, and by having us enjoy, suffer, or feel surprise, unites us beneath the languages, beliefs, habits, customs, and prejudices that separate us Picture Quote #1

In a very real sense, people who have read good literature have lived more than people who cannot or will not read Picture Quote #1
