Quote of the Day

INTERVIEWER: You have given advice to the young all your life.  Do you have anything special to say to them now?
EZRA POUND: To improve their curiosity and not to fake.  But that is not enough.  The mere registering of bellyache and the mere dumping of the ashcan is not enough.

-From Writers At Work: The Paris Review Interviews, 2nd Series
