pjthompsonRandom quote of the day:
“The idea of putting literature in second place, after politics, is an enormous mistake, because politics almost never achieves its ideals. Literature, on the other hand, in its own field can achieve something and in the very long run can also have some practical effect. By now I have come to believe that important things are achieved only through very slow processes.”
—Italo Calvino, The Paris Review, Issue 124, Fall 1992
