There is a certain grain of stupidity the writer can hardly do without - the quality of having to stare. Flannery O'Connor
We write what we don’t know we know. -Grace Paley
Art is transferring feeling from one heart to another. – Tolstoy
Only truth can do that. – Andre Dubus III, the author and teacher, probably best known for his novel The House of Sand and Fog, at tonight’s compelling and hilarious opening keynote of the Pacific Northwest Writers’ Association conference.
Thank you, Mr. Dubus.
