“What care I if it be "wild and improbable" and "lacking in literary art"? I refuse to be any longer hampered by such canons of criticism. The one essential thing I demand of a book is that it should interest me. If it does, I forgive it every other fault.”
― L.M. Montgomery, The Selected Journals of L.M. Montgomery, Vol. 1: 1889-1910
