“I am lonely (…) It is a political, intellectual-artistic loneliness. I lack a sense of intellectual-articist community. There are too few in my daily contact with whom I can share thoughts and find legitimacy. (…) the piftall that one must try to avoid is being swept up in self to the point of preoccupation, wherein one has little or no time to devote to friends, to give freely, to display intellectual generosity when there is no publication reward or political advantage to be had.”
