"A man who writes a story is forced to put into it
the best of his knowledge and the best of his feeling.
The discipline of the written word punishes both stupidity
and dishonesty. A writer lives in awe of words for they
can be cruel or kind, and they can change their meanings
right in front of you."
- John Steinbeck
