Quotation of the Day for February 7, 2010"If I had given less time and thought to my craft, I should have made up a hackneyed tale about being the son of a rich official who had driven me from home, a tale about a domineering father and a downtrodden mother. But I didn't make this mistake. A well devised story needn't try to be like real life. Real life is only too eager to resemble a well-devised story." - Isaac Babel, from My First Fee.
