Quotation on Writing

Writing ought either to be the manufacture of stories for which there is a market demand.a business as safe and commendable as making soap or breakfast foods.or it should be an art, which is always a search for something for which there is no market demand, something new and untried, where the values are intrinsic and have nothing to do with standardized values. - Willa Cather On the Art of Fiction
