"People cannot stand the saddest truth I know about the very nature of reading and writing imaginative literature, which is that poetry does not teach us how to talk to other people: it teaches us how to talk to ourselves. What I'm desperately trying to do is get students to talk to themselves as though they are indeed themselves, and not someone else."
Interview in the Guardian 6 March 1999
I just like this quote. Nothing more today.
