Isaac Bashevis Singer

Children have no use for psychology. They detest sociology. They still believe in god, the family, angels, devils, witches, goblins, logic, clarity, punctuation, and other such obsolete stuff. When a book is boring, they yawn openly. They don't expect their writer to redeem humanity, but leave to adults such childish allusions.

For those who are willing to make an effort, great miracles and wonderful treasures are in store.

The analysis of character is the highest human entertainment.

Every creator painfully experiences the chasm between his inner vision and its ultimate expression. The chasm is never completely bridged. We all have the conviction, perhaps illusory, that we have much more to say than appears on the paper.
