Horace, Ancient Roman Poet
I never think at all when I write. Nobody can do two things at the same time and do them both well. ~ Horace

Horace, Ancient Roman Poet
Source note: Johnsonian Misellanies (1966 edition)
“I think a writer’s job is to provoke questions. I like to think that if someone’s read a book of mine, they’ve had – I don’t know what – the literary equivalent of a shower. Something that would start them thinking in a slightly different way perhaps. That’s what I think writers are for. This is what our function is.”
~ Doris Lessing
