Donna Tartt
“The first duty of the novelist is to entertain. It is a moral duty. People who read your books are sick, sad, traveling, in the hospital waiting room while someone is dying. Books are written by the alone for the alone.”
Donna Tartt

Nathanael West
“He's an escapist. He wants to cultivate his interior garden.”
Nathanael West, Miss Lonelyhearts

Jean Rhys
“I would never be part of anything. I would never really belong anywhere, and I knew it, and all my life would be the same, trying to belong, and failing. Always something would go wrong. I am a stranger and I always will be, and after all I didn’t really care.”
Jean Rhys, Smile Please: An Unfinished Autobiography
