"As I have tried to show, modern writing at its worst does not consist in picking out words for the sake of their meaning and inventing images in order to make the meaning clearer. It consists in gumming together long strips of words which have already been set in order by someone else, and making the results presentable by sheer humbug."

I realize that the reason why I cannot write stories is because I care nothing for people. Only for words. People do not interest me. Their eccentricities and dysfunctions mean nothing. But words together hold something more important than most people could hope to be.
