"For me, the creative life is more a matter of finding what might be called a fitting and timely accord. The way something is expressed will have the stamp of someone's individual experience and personality, but I am uncomfortable when too much emphasis is put on the act of writing as creative in the sense of being highly individualistic, the writer as autonomous and original inventor." - Gladys Cardiff
