You don't write a novel out of sheer pity.... : Quote by Nelson Algren

“ You don't write a novel out of sheer pity any more than you blow a safe out of a vague longing to be rich. A certain ruthlessness and a sense of alienation from society is as essential to creative writing as it is to armed robbery. ”
