In the usual (though certainly not in every) public decision on economic policy, the choice is between courses that are almost equally good or equally bad. It is the narrowest decisions that are most ardently debated. If the world is lucky enough to enjoy peace, it may even one day make the discovery, to the horror of doctrinaire free-enterprisers and doctrinaire planners alike, that what is called capitalism and what is called socialism are both capable of working quite well Picture Quote #1

It’s a great excuse and luxury, having a job and blaming it for your inability to do your own art. When you don’t have to work, you are left with the horror of facing your own lack of imagination and your own emptiness. A devastating possibility when finally time is your own Picture Quote #1

The specific story line that people have responded to the most has been the horror of bathing suit shopping Picture Quote #1

People who are anxious to bring on war don’t know what they are bargaining for; they don’t see all the horrors that must accompany such an event Picture Quote #1

Just as the office worker dreams of murdering his hated boss and so is saved from really murdering him, so it is with the author; with his great dreams he helps his readers to survive, to avoid their worst intentions.

This is the highest mission of great literature, and there is no other Picture Quote #1

You don’t write about the horrors of war. No. You write about a kid’s burnt socks lying in the road Picture Quote #1

I get glimpses of the horror of normalcy. Each of these innocents on the street is engulfed by a terror of their own ordinariness. They would do anything to be unique Picture Quote #1

If you focus on the humanity of your stories, your characters, then the horror will be stronger, scarier. Without the humanity, the horror becomes nothing more than a tawdry parlor trick. All flash and no magic, and worst of all, no heart Picture Quote #1
