Famous quotes containing the words trade and/or diversion:
“You know that fiction, prose rather, is possibly the roughest trade of all in writing. You do not have the reference, the old important reference. You have the sheet of blank paper, the pencil, and the obligation to invent truer than things can be true. You have to take what is not palpable and make it completely palpable and also have it seem normal and so that it can become a part of experience of the person who reads it.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“If our condition were truly happy, we would not need diversion from thinking of it in order to make ourselves happy.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
