Edward Albee
“What I mean by an educated taste is someone who has the same tastes that I have.”
Edward Albee

Lillian Hellman
“Old paint on a canvas, as it ages, sometimes becomes transparent. When that happens it is possible, in some pictures, to see the original lines: a tree will show through a woman's dress, a child makes way for a dog, a large boat is no longer on an open sea. That is called pentimento because the painter "repented," changed his mind. Perhaps it would be as well to say that the old conception, replaced by a later choice, is a way of seeing and then seeing again. That is all I mean about the people in this book. The paint has aged and I wanted to see what was there for me once, what is there for me now.”
Lillian Hellman, Pentimento

Jean Hanff Korelitz
“It was all he could do not to laugh, the lives of the vast majority of authors being far more private than they likely wished. Maybe Stephen King or John Grisham got approached in the supermarket by a quavering person extending pen and paper, but for most writers, even reliably published and actually self-supporting writers, the privacy was thunderous.”
Jean Hanff Korelitz, The Plot

“There are thousands of five-letter words in the English dictionary, but it only takes one to win Wordle.”
Alexis Benveniste and Jackie Frere

Lydia Davis
“Read the best writers from all different periods; keep your reading of contemporaries in proportion - you do not want a steady diet of contemporary literature. You already belong to your time.”
Lydia Davis, Essays One
