Famous Quotes | A creative writer must study...

A creative writer must study carefully the works of his rivals, including the Almighty. He must possess the inborn capacity not only of recombining but of re-creating the given world. In order to do this adequately, avoiding duplication of labor, the artist should know the given world. - Vladimir Nabokov Attribution: Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977), Russian-born U.S. novelist, poet. Playboy, interview (1964).
