“After a while I
murmured to Picasso that I liked his portrait of Gertrude Stein. Yes, he said,
everybody says that she does not look like it but that does not make any
difference, she will, he said.”
― Regarding Gertrude Stein,
The Autobiography
of Alice B. Toklas
I got this gem
from E. L. Doctorow's lecture "Don't Call It
Historical" in which he argues the definition of a novel and that it
diminishes one to be defined as historical.
