    “Already the writers are complaining that there is too much freedom. They need some pressure. The worse your daily life, the better your art. If you have to be careful because of oppression and censorship, this pressure produces diamonds.”
    —Tatyana Tolstaya (b. 1951)

    “And truly Philosophy is but sophisticated poetry. Whence do those ancient writers derive all their authority but from the poets?”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “Unrecognized alcoholism is the ruling pathology among writers and intellectuals.”
    —Diana Trilling (b. 1905)
