Thatโs one of the nice things about writing, or any art; if the thingโs real, it just lives. All the attendant hoopla about it, the success over it or the critical rejectionโnone of that really matters. In the end, the thing will survive or not on its own merits. Not that immortality via art is any big deal. Truffaut died, and we all felt awful about it, and there were the appropriate eulogies, and his wonderful films live on. But itโs not much help to Truffaut.
Woody AllenYou know, it's one thing about intellectuals, they prove that you can be absolutely brilliant and have no idea what's going on.
