“Many people seem to think that art is a luxury to be imported and tacked on to life. Art springs out of the very stuff that life is made of. Most of our young authors start to write a story and make a few observations from nature to add local color. The results are invariably false and hollow. Art must spring out of the fullness and richness of life.” PeopleThinkingWritingArtMadeStoriesSeemsYoungLife IsStuffResultsColorSpringArt IsAddLocalsObservationLuxuryHollowFullnessRichnessRichness Of Life Book:Willa Cather in person: interviews, speeches, and letters Source: Willa Cather in person: interviews, speeches, and letters
“I wish I had the luxury of time to read and write like grad students do. That sounds pretty awesome. When I was writing my first book one of my friends was going to grad school at the same time and I heard a lot of stories about drinking, too. I feel like everyone was having affairs.” FeelsWritingFirstsBookStoriesSchoolWishSoundHeardStudentsMy FriendsDrinkingAffairLuxuryGradGrad School Author:Jami Attenberg
