"I want to be great, damn it. Is that an incorrect thing to say, impolitic? I want to be the finest writer of my time, but I won't be. I'll be good -- give me another decade or two of practice and I'll be very good -- but I'll never be great. My words will not live for centuries.

"Maybe I'll be someone's favorite writer, though. Maybe I'll touch someone deeply, connect with someone in a fundamental way.

"That would be enough, maybe. That would be more than most people are able to do.

"But oh, how I wish I could be, someday, a great writer."
