“My own experience is that once a story has been written, one has to cross out the beginning and the end. It is there that we authors do most of our lying . . . one must ruthlessly suppress everything that is not concerned with the subject. If, in the first chapter, you say there is a gun hanging on the wall, you should make quite sure that it is going to be used further on in the story.” IfsShouldFirstsHas BeensEndsStoriesUsedLyingMy OwnWrittenSubjectsWallGunConcernedCrossesChaptersHanging On Author:Anton Chekhov

“I speak "with absolute certainty" only so far as my own personal belief is concerned.
