Quotes by Maxwell Evarts Perkins (?)

“The trouble is, very few people, even in the least provincial communities, seem to understand that the motive for fiction, or the impulse from which it arises, is a serious one. They think of fiction as having no value except that of amusing and passing the time; and so it is impossible for them to understand why it could not just as well be pleasant and pretty.”
― Maxwell E. Perkins, Editor to Author: The Letters of Maxwell E. Perkins
