quoteworthy


“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.” 




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.
