483 citations

A book is like a man - clever and dull, brave and cowardly, beautiful and ugly. For every flowering thought there will be a page like a wet and mangy mongrel, and for every looping flight a tap on the wing and a reminder that wax cannot hold the feathers firm too near the sun. ✨ Writers at Work: The Paris Review Interviews, Fourth Series. Book edited by George Plimpton. Chapter On Publishing, 1977.
