Quotation of the Day for December 25, 2014"After he read the proofs of my book The Abstract Wild, Peter Matthiessen gave me some advice: Don't pay any attention to reviews or critics. If they are positive, they will inflate your ego, and that's not good. If they are negative, they will make you angry, and that's not good. If they disagree with your facts, then you will end up contesting them, and that's annoying, tiresome, and wastes time, and that, in turn, is not good. I have tried to abide by his advice (there was no one I respected more), and I see no reason to change." - Jack Turner, in The Sun, November 2014 issue. He was responding to letters to the editor occasioned by his interview in the August 2014 issue. [The interview is at https://thesunmagazine.org/issues/464/not_on_any_map].
