Corrosive fame

Random quote of the day:

“A writer is only discovered once in a lifetime, and if it happens very early the impossibility of matching that moment again can have a somewhat corrosive effect on his personality and indeed on the work itself.”

—Joseph Heller, interviewed by George Plimpton, The Paris Review, Winter 1974
