“success in L.A. is completely arbitrary. One day you're the brilliant genius of life, the next day people act like there's a bad smell when you approach.

“The notion of the writer as a kind of sociological sample of a community is ludicrous. Even worse is the notion that writers should provide an example of how to live. Virginia Woolf ended her life by putting a rock in her sweater one day and walking into a lake. She is not a model of how I want to live my life. On the other hand, the bravery of her syntax, of her sentences, written during her deepest depression, is a kind of example for me. But I do not want to become Virginia Woolf. That is not why I read her.” WantShouldKindHandsCommunityWrittenRocksExampleWalkingOne DayModelsBraveryNotionSentencesLakesLiving My LifeVirginiaSampleSweatersSyntaxSociologicalWoolf Author:Richard Rodriguez
