Es ist ein Unglück, dass die Notwendigkeit Menschen dazu veranlasst hat, diesem beeindruckenden Motor eine größere Lizenz zu gewähren, um Freiheit zu erlangen, als mit weniger wichtigen Zielen in Betracht gezogen werden kann; denn die Presse ist wie das Feuer ein ausgezeichneter Diener, aber ein schrecklicher Meister.

The great work must inevitably be obscure, except to the very few, to those who like the author himself are initiated into the mysteries. Communication then is secondary: it is perpetuation which is important. For this only one good reader is necessary.

Henry Miller

I wanted to be a poet when I was 20; I had no interest in fiction or biography and precious little interest in history, but those three elements in my life have become the most important.
