A Spanish proverb James Purdy liked

"He whose mother dwelleth in a whorehouse cannot call himself an orphan." -- from this interview with Martin Goodman.

James Purdy died this month. May he rest in peace.

"Technique is constant practice and a kind of bleeding inside. It's agony really because the body resists the soul. It doesn't want to be tortured by putting some things down on paper." -- James Purdy
