Quote of the Day

Check out this insight from George Saunders, about teaching/learning writing:

"...even for those thousands of young people who don't get something (published), the process is still a noble one--the process of trying to say something, of working through the craft issues, and the world-view issues, and the ego issues--all of this is character-building, and god forbid everything we do should have to have Concrete Career Results."

-George Saunders in conversation with Ben Marcus, featured in The Believer book of Writers Talking To Writers
