— John Berger



Patricia Highsmith On Writing Without an Audience

"I think the majority of writers, living a Robinson Crusoe existence with no hope of seeing another human being as long as they lived, would still write poems, short stories and books with whatever material there was at hand. Writing is a way of organizing experience and life itself, and the need of this is still present though an audience may not be." - Patricia Highsmith, Plotting and Writing Suspense Fiction
