I feel no obligation to deal with politics. I do feel a responsibility to society because of going into print: a writer has the duty to be good, not lousy; true, not false; lively, not dull; accurate, not full of error. He should tend to lift people up, not lower them down.</p> <p>Writers do not merely reflect and interpret life, they inform and shape life.</p>”<br/><br/> - <em> E. B.
