“It's good to go back and look at what other states are doing. For example, Mayo Clinics and the University of Minnesota had a collaborative grant program that we modeled our program after, so we went back to talk to them about the successes of their program.

“We hear a great deal of lamentation these days about writers having all taken themselves to the colleges and universities where they live decorously instead of going out and getting firsthand information about life. The fact is that anybody who has survived his childhood has enough information about life to last him the rest of his days. If you can't make something out of a little experience, you probably won't be able to make it out of a lot. The writer's business is to contemplate experience, not to be merged in it.” IfsLittlesEnoughFactsAbleLastsDealsTakenChildhoodInformationCollegeUniversityThese DaysContemplatingGoing OutSurvivedColleges And UniversitiesLamentation Book:Mystery and Manners: Occasional Prose Source: Mystery and Manners: Occasional Prose
