Can’t Hear it on the Radio

On the one hand, writers:
The real writers, you don’t even know them. The only writers that you hear about are fake fucks. All those guys are real peanut. Most writers that are real won’t take shit from no one. In other words, we’re free. In order to be a real artist, you have to be free. You draw from your soul. You can’t be told what to do. That takes away the whole fucking thing of art.”
–Tracy 168
On the other hand, writers:
So if I were talking to a young writer, I would recommend the cultivation of extreme indifference to both praise and blame because praise will lead you to vanity, and blame will will lead you to self-pity, and both are bad for writers.
–John Berryman
