“Part of the difficulty in trying to be both an artist and a businessperson is this: You make a picture because you have seen something beyond price; then you are to turn and assign to your record of it a cash value.

“A scientific autobiography belongs to a most awkward literary genre. If the difficulties facing a man trying to record his life are great - and few have overcome them successfully - they are compounded in the case of scientists, of whom many lead monotonous and uneventful lives and who, besides, often do not know how to write . . .” IfsKnowsMenWritingTryingCasesKnow HowRecordsScientistOvercomingDifficultyGenreAwkwardAutobiographyMonotonousLiterary Genre Book:Heraclitean Fire: Sketches from a Life Before Nature Source: Heraclitean Fire: Sketches from a Life Before Nature
