“You see, in my view a writer is a writer not because she writes well and easily, because she has amazing talent, because everything she does is golden. In my view a writer is a writer because even when there is no hope, even when nothing you do shows any sign of promise, you keep writing anyway.”
—Junot Diaz, Pulitzer Prize 2008, The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
