Quote: The Writer's Raw Material
May 18th 2012 04:22
How simply, yet incredibly true!
"A writer — and, I believe, generally all persons — must think that whatever happens to him or her is a resource. All things have been given to us for a purpose, and an artist must feel this more intensely. All that happens to us, including our humiliations, our misfortunes, our embarrassments, all is given to us as raw material, as clay, so that we may shape our art."
Jorge Luis Borges, Twenty-four Conversations with Borges, Including a Selection of Poems : Interviews, by Roberto Alifano, 1981-1983
