Quote

"I like all forms of writing, from articles to motion pictures, but of them all I prefer the novel. In a day of increasing taboos, I think it may represent the final redoubt of a truly free enterprise. I like the feeling that it is up to me, that make or break, it is all mine."
-Budd Schulberg

Schulberg turns a sprightly 95 years old today. I thoroughly enjoyed What Makes Sammy Run? (which will definitely make my top ten list for this year) and will probably read The Harder They Fall soon, too.
