"People say, don't waste my time, don't tell me anything superfluous, give me something necessary, really necessary....I wouldn't dream of publishing anything that would waste people's time. In literature, too, the question is: what is one to tell that will be truly interesting, and how can a writer compete with the great events of this century? What is he going to say after the revolution of 1905, World War I, the Russian Revolution, the rise of Fascism, the great depression, World War II, the atomic bomb and all these other tremendous movements of destiny which have charmed mankind out of its shoes?".
