“When I write I don't aim to shock people, and I'm surprised when I do.

And sometimes the truth is shocking.” PeopleThinkingShouldWritingArtSometimesArtistFashionTruth IsAimUglyArtisticShockTelling The TruthShocking Author:Tennessee Williams

We deal with the truth as the cook deals with meat and vegetables.” HardArtistDealsImpossibleHappenedCooksMeatTelling The TruthVegetables Author:Eric Hoffer
