Let Everything Else Go Hang

DateMonday, March 11, 2013 at 08:53PM

Everything in art depends on execution: the story of a louse can be as beautiful as the story of Alexander. You must write according to your feelings, be sure those feelings are true, and let everything else go hang. When a line is good it ceases to belong to any school. A line of prose must be as immutable as a line of poetry.

--Julian Barnes, Flaubert's Parrot
