Today's quote:

"I'm more and more struck by how different the novelist and the poet are... Look at Auden's sonnet, The Novelist. Poets can 'dash forward like hussars', but the work of the novelist is to be with the boring, the ugly, the filthy. In your person, as best you can, you comprehend all the wrongs of man. You have to be a sort of everyman to be a novelist, and poets are never everymen." ~ Martin Amis, in an interview with Stephen Moss, Martin Amis: "I don't want to tread carefully" (The Guardian)
