Only after a writer lets literature shape.... : Quote by Annie Dillard

“ Only after a writer lets literature shape her can she perhaps shape literature. In working-class France, when an apprentice got hurt, or when he got tired, the experienced workers said, "It is the trade entering his body." The art must enter the body, too. ”
